I finally got round to trying out a different live CD (Kanotix 2006-01-RC4) that had a different kernel - 2.6.18. Firewire is detected and correctly loaded - the swap partition on my firewire drive is used, fdisk lists partitions etc.
The results of uname, dmesg, lspci and fdisk are in the attached text file.
Hope this helps.

Subject: RE: Auto detecting FireWire Drives and Knoppix 5.1
I tried the boot option "knoppix acpi=force" but had no success. I noticed that udev is now used in place of hotplug - could this have had any impact?
If anyone can suggest a live CD distro with the same or a more recent kernel, I'll happily test. The kernel could be the issue - I remember how kernel updates changed the way knoppix was able to recognise and automount firewire drives in earlier CDs (3.2, 3.4).

Chris

Thanks for the files, I don't see any obvious reason for the failure
yet, but still think that it may be a kernel problem.
Since ACPI and (L)APIC seem to be handled the same way, it could be a
bug in the ohci1394 module iself. Do you know if your firewire port
works with other linux distributions using the same kernel?
The boot option
knoppix acpi=force
for forcing interrupt detection & handling via ACPI could maybe be worth
a try.
