I have problems with firewire since FC7 test1.
Tried to get help or help debugging on this list two times

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-February/msg00540.html
http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2007-April/msg01377.html

but with no answers.

This is third time.

Problems with firewire on FC7:

1. as normal user no program ( testlibraw , dvcont, dvgrab ) is finding
the camera, 

as root see below:

2. with on board firewire controler
01:0a.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b Link
Layer Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
        Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology GA-K8N Ultra-9 Mainboard
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18
        Memory at f8004000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
        Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

- testlibraw is OK
- dvcont ( play and stop not working , status working 50% )
- dvgrab ( unable to start camera, if camera is playing capture is ok in
50% , other 50% camera is not found )

3. with PCI VIA firewire card
01:07.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host
Controller (rev 43) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
        Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19
        Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
        I/O ports at c000 [size=128]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
- testlibraw is OK
- dvcont ( play, stop, status all ok )
- dvgrab gives
	Found AV/C device with GUID 0x0080880100a306bb

	Message from syslogd@ at Thu Jun 28 23:02:11 2007 ...
	localhost kernel: Oops: 0000 [2] SMP 
	Message from syslogd@ at Thu Jun 28 23:02:11 2007 ...
	localhost kernel: CR2: ffffffffffffffea

and dmesg shows kernel oops , capture is not working.

Otherwise happy FEDORA user since FC1.
Keep up the good work.
