This messages part is irrelevant to Your webcam - You either had webcam
connected when PC booted and messages about webcam are closer to
messages start, or Your webcam isn'n detected. What will print "lsusb"
command?
You should get someone as:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0458:006a KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems)
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia Sonix USB 2.0 Camera
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

and appropriate part of /var/log/messages should be as this:

(You probably gets only first part, when udev will not find correct
driver for it)
