Forgot to mention: the camcorder works in an older kernel (2.6.26-2-686) without any problems. I had to change nothing (no modules, no udev rules) from the newer kernel scenario. The camcorder appears as: $> ls -altr /dev/raw* crw-rw---- 1 root video 171, 0 May 30 11:04 /dev/raw1394 So rebooting in to an older kernel is a workaround for the present.
