Hi,

Could you be more specific about your issue? Does the webcam get
detected? if you use 'cheese' do you get any errors in say 'dmesg'?

There has been a webcam issue of late that seems to trace back to a
regression with the latest kernels. This was fixed in the centos plus
kernel, but there is a wait to see what Red Hat will do. This is a
kernel issue and all kernel bugs are locked from public view bar Red Hat
people and the reporter.

Issue seen and fixed in plus kernel:
