I did the following in my laptop:

- I am running the new rt19 kernel, of course (i686)
- rebuilt the libraw1394 and libavc1394 libraries in my build server
- installed them
- /sbin/modprobe raw1394
- installed kino from livna
- plugged in my dv camera
- started kino and it was able to recognize the camera and record

I don't know if this is good news or bad news :-(
(because it is not working for you)
Maybe I should reboot and start from scratch to see if that makes a
difference. 

Most probably I'll release the new packages tomorrow. But then of course
the machine becomes incompatible (in terms of firewire) with the stock
Fedora kernels.
