  The only problem with that is that on most systems, the /var/log/messages
file has only a subset of all the messages logged.  You could temporarily
log all messages to a file (say, /var/log/all) for trouble-shooting.  In the
long term, this can fill up your disk with log messages very quickly.

  That should be easy... something like

        alias sda name-of-usb-camera-module

to /etc/modules.conf (or maybe

        alias scsi_hostadapter name-of-use-camera-module

if modprobe does not like a specific SCSI device name) should do the trick.
