Compiles and installs fine. Modprobe spca5xx works fine. Here's the /var/log/messages
output of doing a "modprobe spca5xx":

Next, I plug in the camera, and /var/log/messages gives:

But when I run spcaview, it freezes the machine. For obvious reasons I can't
cut-n-paste the screen output. Any ideas?
Same problem here with FC5 & spca5xx on a Biostar motherboard. I had
a serial console setup, and saw some crazy kernel Oops everytime. I
emailed the spca5xx maintainer and he blew me off initially stating
that he only supports official
kernel.org kernels. So I built an
official 2.6.16.1 kernel, and saw the same exact Oops all over again
(plus on my system it just spontaneously reboots, instead of hanging).
Now the maintainer is just ignoring my emails, which leads me to
believe that he doesn't know how to fix the problem. *sigh*
