Firewire problems. (Score 2, Informative)

I had some issues with firewire in kernel 2.6 (getting total lockups when under heavy activity). I solved them by using the latest code in the subversion tree of http://www.linux1394.org/ with kernel 2.6.5-rc2. Since then I have upgraded to 2.6.5-rc3 and now 2.6.5 without any problems.

So, my advice is, try the latest kernel with the latest subversion tree from the linux1394.org website. Hopefully, that will solve your problems. 8)
