ispfw.0 is loaded. I cannot find ispfw.ko. 

Some modules are loaded that I don't need. But I couldn't unload one of 
them. I tried "unload firewire" which unloaded the whole bunch of modules. 
Afterwards I wasn't able to load any other module. I guess that boot kernel 
is monolithic. 

Booting with 4.9 seems to be okay. It proceeds until SysInstall which I 
can't operate because of keyboard problems: the keys I press seem to be 
randomly interpreted and I cannot select any of SysInstall's menu options. 

It seems that 4.9 is somehow better than 5.4 for this machine but I need to 
get past the SysInstall keyboard problem.
