The new hal and/or dbus seems to make my Firewire problem worse; now
with both 1.2919 and 1.2922 kernels (x86_64) I'd get a kernel panic.
If I plug the Firewire device in after the system boots up, after the
kernel panic messages are dumped on the current terminal I could
switch to other terminals but after entering my username and password
I would not get a prompt.

I have some dmesg output from the time before the problem becomes
terminal -- this is more a kernel bug than a hal bug, yes?
