PeterNSteinmetz, this is different from the other reporters' issues. Yours is likely bad hardware, perhaps bad firmware. The drivers can't do anything about it. It could perhaps be caused by old revisions of 1394b physical interface chips (TI TSB81BA3 erratum without software workaround). If

Why does Ubuntu (or only your two test boxes?) not load raw1394 automatically when a DV device is plugged in? Are the module aliases somehow missing in Ubuntu's raw1394? (Run modinfo raw1394.) Or does Ubuntu have a blacklist raw1394 directive somewhere in /etc? (Run grep -r 'blacklist raw1394'

OK, this is how it should be; raw1394 _should_ be automatically loaded with that when a DV device appears. Could be that the drivers have a special problem with your particular camera. Your local change to the udev rules does not influence autoloading, only how device file ownership is set up
