I am running linux 2.6.8-2-686, the debian package,
and dvgrab version 1.7, (I'm going to worry about kino later)

The modules loaded on bootup are:
eth1394
ohci1394
ieee1394

The modules that were automatically added after I turned the camera on are:
dv1394
raw1394

The relevant part of lspci is:
0000:00:08.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host
Controller (rev 46)

dmesg spits this out every time I turn the camera on:
ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-01:1023
ieee1394: Current remote IRM is not 1394a-2000 compliant, resetting...
ieee1394: Node resumed: ID:BUS[0-00:1023]  GUID[0000850000c841ac]
ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023
ieee1394: unsolicited response packet received - no tlabel match


Does any of this gibberish help? :-)
