OK - removed harddrake and hotplug : no improvement. Here is my
modprobe.conf :
# This file is autogenerated from /etc/modules.conf using
generate-modprobe.conf command
alias eth0 via-rhine
alias sound-slot-0 snd-cmipci
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe
ehci-hcd; /bin/true
remove snd-cmipci /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe
--first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-cmipci
install snd-cmipci /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install
snd-cmipci && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
Which means next to nothing to me. But the USB interface seems to
work, and I can use my USB scanner perfectly. But no camera.
I have the feeling this is a kernel bug. Now, I have to reboot
again :-/
