Package: libraw1394-5
Version: 0.10.1-1.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
First, I need to say I am not sure that this is the right package to
report a bug to but I have no glue where else I should report. The
subject said it all. I get no errors even if I start for example
gscanbus in a xterm. As soon as I access the controller or the
connected cam, gscanbus freezes, same with kino.
I tested the firewire-card / cable / cam in another computer and there
it worked. I tested the card in this machine in several PCI slots,
sharing an IRQ or using one alone. A possible kernel-issue?

Well, yes, this sounds rather likely -- in any case, I can't believe it's a
bug in libraw1394, so I'm closing it. (If anything could work around this, it
would probably be in the kernel, and fixing it would require reproducing it
on some other machine, so it sounds like a near-impossible task without
having the exact same hardware available.)
Feel free to open a new bug report if the problem should resurface :-)
