I had this problem with a DV camcorder that I had used previously in Linux. I solved the problem by loading the modules: dv1394, ohci1394, ieee1394, and raw1394. The camera registered to /dev/fw0, /dev/fw1 and I was able to get video from Kino. I think this has to do with backwards compatibility issues with the older firewire protocols.
commands: sudo modprobe dv1394 sudo modprobe raw1394 lsmod | grep 1394: raw1394 22462 0 dv1394 15403 0 ohci1394 27024 1 dv1394 ieee1394 81069 3 raw1394,dv1394,ohci1394 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670210 Title: firewire_core: skipped bus generations, destroying all nodes -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
