Thanks for the pointer. It does look like some change in firewire is 
responsible. However, as I said, fedora/mythdora 12 works for me and I think I 
am using the new juju firewire stack. At least I did not install ieee1394 from 
atrpms. (Of course mythdora could have some modified files, but most rpms are 
standard f12 rpms, and with a superficial look at filenames I do not see 
anything in mythdora specific rpm that would affect firewire.) So juju must 
have been fixed enough that it works in latest F12 kernels, but something 
still changed further in more recent distributions.
