kernel firewire support = yes
no overriding files = no

Log output for module installs and turning on camera;

There is one device in /dev, /dev/raw1394. In order to use the other aspects 
of 1394 such as dv1394 there should be similar entries in /dev. All told to 
cover all the bases there should be;

/dev/raw1394 (currently there)
/dev/video1394
/dev/dv1394
and I think /dev/ieee1394

http://kino.schirmacher.de/ is currently down so I can't check on the later. 
It's the place I use for 1394 edification:)

I haven't fiddled with 1394 lately but I'm quessing something some how got 
dropped in the rules. I had this working sometime back. Using the rules from 
PCLinuxOS they have this entry under disk devices section (doesn't really 
matter where it goes);

KERNEL="raw1394",	NAME="%k", GROUP="usb"

To get the other 1394 devices those should be listed as well. JMO.

If you need more info let me know.
