There is a better patch. It probably got lost because it was applied to the kernel which v4l was maintainer- and CVS-less. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/linux.kernel/msg/6a27dd3dc46a5b5b?dmode=source&hl=en It would be cool if you could apply this patch to v4l CVS and send it to akpm for inclusion into 2.6.13 (hopefully), as the "hang at boot" issue is quite nasty.
