I'm having the same problem with my Acer Travelmate 8215WLMI. Now, funny as it seems, since Ubuntu 11 I have to use
"blacklist.firewirewire_ohci=yes" as a work-around, "blacklist=firewire_ohci" just wouldn't work.
I'm actually using Ubuntu 12.04.5 Kernel 3.2.0-67.
Trying Ubuntu 14 using the work-around and alternatively trying "blacklist=firewire_ohci" fails at booting with "firewire_ohci .....:failed to set link power". I tried booting with USB-stick and as well DVD.

Seems the newer Kernel not only keeps on with the same bug, but to worsen the situation ignores the blacklist command.

Anything else that I could do?
