Hmm. I use Kino with my videocam via Firewire. Works wonderfully, and it's all packaged. Seems to me that the potential problem is not in the kernel end of things but rather the particular app. being used. It's been rare that I didn't get the help needed when I had to compile/install my own stuff, and had problems. YMMV obviously. I don't recall what specific app was up with the OP...
