That's why I referred to my repository ;-)

Had the same issue ;-)

To install the 2.6.31 kernel I am using at the moment (AMD64):

Add my repository to your sources.list
deb http://apt.harleystudio.co.za/ hardy main

using synaptic, deinstall the alsa-firmware package (included in the 
kernel package)
and afterwards install the 2.6.31.6-rt kernel.

Is has the old fire wire stack enabled, and works with my Canon DV video 
camera via firewire.

Regards,

Quentin
remove the alsa-firmware package
