[PlanetCCRMA] fc6/7: new rt kernel; fc6/7: updated libgig

[grae]

Hi Fernando,

I had some issues before trying to run firewire on fc7 and they were
resolved by installing a libavc1394 and libraw1394 from
ezplanet-updates repo.

After installing this new kernel my firewire again does not work with
the same error message as before:

"Ieee1394Service::initialize: Could not get 1394 handle: No such file
or directory
Is ieee1394 and raw1394 driver loaded?"

I receive the error regardless of whether I'm using the this or the
previous kernel.  Basically I'm dead in the water. ;)

Thoughts?

grae
