Compiles and installs fine. Modprobe spca5xx works fine. Here's the /var/log/messages output of doing a "modprobe spca5xx":

Next, I plug in the camera, and /var/log/messages gives:

But when I run spcaview, it freezes the machine. For obvious reasons I can't cut-n-paste the screen output. Any ideas?

Same problem here with FC5 & spca5xx on a Biostar motherboard. I had
a serial console setup, and saw some crazy kernel Oops everytime. I
emailed the spca5xx maintainer and he blew me off initially stating
that he only supports official kernel.org kernels. So I built an
official 2.6.16.1 kernel, and saw the same exact Oops all over again
(plus on my system it just spontaneously reboots, instead of hanging).
Now the maintainer is just ignoring my emails, which leads me to
believe that he doesn't know how to fix the problem. *sigh*


Same problem here with FC5 and spca5xx on a asus (nvidia) motherboard. I
sent an email to Michel Xhaard few weeks before and he answered me this
problem seems fc5 specific because fc5 seems very buggy at least with
its specific kernel!
Since i obtain no answer and no solution to our problem.
