Downgrading udev from 039-10 to 039-8, didn't help.
But after removing the whole firewire controller on runtime, and
reinserting it (with nothing mounted, because there was nothing
recognized, I got some interesting new kernel output which I don't like
if it means what I think. Plus, this just can't be, because sometimes it
works, and it works especially well with other distros, like debian or
knoppix.
So here's the output:
