I did a quick diff of the respective kernel .config's (this is the
configuration you mean, right?) and haven't found any notable
differences in the firewire options.

I'm attaching a diff between dmesg of a working and a non-working boot.
You can find the full dmesg records in my first mail and in the Debian
BTS respectively.

The only thing I can see there is the old  kernel having some problems
with the SATA controller - even though I did never notice any unusual
behaviour apart from these messages:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PCI: Device 0000:02:00.0 not available because of resource collisions
ahci: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -22
JMB363: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:02:00.0
PCI: Device 0000:02:00.0 not available because of resource collisions
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
JMB363: BIOS configuration fixed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't know whether this could be related?

Thanks,
Jan
