Yes.
You can use another program to capture your raw camera flow while
Coriander is updated or try to do a symlink to the real device, something
like "ln -s /dev/fw0 /dev/raw1394" and the run coriander from command
line to get the errors.

Wow, that's a more elaborated reasoning :-)
I would have think that Coriander is just outdated and need to be
adjusted to work with the new firewire stack.

Keep us informed. I'm sure this same question will hit many other users
that will face your same situation in a near future. It is still not
clear how is this now working.
