Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS [TravelMate 8200] Firewire prevents booting

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Downloaded Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS.
  Created DVD
  Boot from DVD
  Get the all too common black screen and machine hang.
  Using various options finally get:  firewire_ohci: Failed to set link Power Status
  So, using all the options, both at the same time, individually and a combination thereof:
  blacklist=firewire_ohci (gets past the black screen at leaast, but hangs on ubuntu loading screen)
  nofirewire (no change)
  rd.driver.blacklist-firewire_ohci (no change)
  modprobe.blacklist=firewire_ohci (no change)

  This is the same as the bugs reported here: 
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/981936
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1000197

  I am unable to provide any further information or 'report from a
  console' or anything because I can't even install Ubuntu. I can't get
  anywhere. The information I have provided is all I am able to provide.
