Hi,
Sorry, seems I made some shortcuts... :-/
Here is the methodology I've followed :
1) PC1 : Mandrake 9.1 (before moving to Cooker and associated kernels)
kernel 2.4.2.1-0-13mdk
hotplug-2002_04_01-8mdk
module pwc.o.gz included in the kernel rpm (seems to be a 8.2 according to
/var/log/messages)
Webcam Logitech Quickcam 3000 pro
=> OK
2) PC1 : Mandrake Cooker (nearly 9.2 Beta 1)
kernel 2.4.2.6mdk-1-1mdk
hotplug-2002_04_01-8mdk
module pwc.o.gz included in the kernel rpm (seems to be a 8.10 according to
kernel-source) and pwcx 8.2.2
Webcam Logitech Quickcam 3000 pro
=> kernel panic systematicaly even on different usb port, when I plug my
webcam ou when I boot with it plugged
3) PC1 : Mandrake Cooker (nearly 9.2 Beta 1)
kernel-2.4.21.6mdk-1-1mdk
hotplug-2002_04_01-8mdk
module pwc.o.gz included in the kernel rpm (seems to be a 8.10 according to
kernel-source for 2.4.21-6) and pwcx 8.2.2
Another Webcam model : Quickcam classic
=> OK so my usb ports are OK on PC1
4) PC2 : Mandrake 9.1
kernel 2.4.2.1-0.13mdk
hotplug-2002_04_01-8mdk
module pwc.o.gz included in the kernel rpm (seems to be a 8.10 according to
kernel-source for kernel 2.4.2.1-0.13mdk)
Webcam Logitech Quickcam 3000 pro
=> OK so my Quickcam 3000 is OK
A (quite naive) conclusion could be : shame on kernel-2.4.21.6mdk-1-1mdk (and
kernel-2.4.21.3mdk-1-1mdk, kernel-2.4.21-0.rc1.1mdk)
A second conclusion could be : wouaou a simple webcam plug can reboot Linux (could be
in the Top Ten jokes in Redmond area hmmm ? ;-))
Berthy.
