Hi, folks.
Ever since we brought some of our servers up to 6.x, where the gspcamodule comes with the kernel, instead of us building it, we've been seeing problems. One system gives very strange loops - someone walks through, then repeat a few times, then the next motion, etc. The current problem is that one camera went out on a different server (it's 6.2, and I'm hoping to bring it up to 6.3 shortly, when the users give me a maintenance window). I replaced it with another camera - these are inexpensive webcams, USB 1.0 or 1.1. I started up motion a couple of times, and it finally started. This was a few weeks ago; then, late last week or over the weekend, it went out again, giving only a black screen.
Under 5.x, where we were building gspca from source a couple-threeyears old, it worked fine.
Anyone have ideas as to what I might try? mark
Cant you blacklist internal module and use the one you will compile? You can use kmod- way of compiling, so package is not related to specific kernel but to family of kernels with same ABI/kABI using weak-updates.
