Summary: The ibmcam driver is not working
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.34
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: USB
AssignedTo: greg@xxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: davidsen@xxxxxxx
Regression: Yes
This driver has been working, and around the 1st of May I updated my Fedora
kernel (FC13-RC) to current. The camera stopped working, so I built the latest
2.6.34-rc version and verified the problem. When 2.6.34 final released I
repeated the test and the driver is still not working.
Originally reported against Fedora (not going to be fixed in FC13) the
information in the Fedora report may be enough to identify the problem. I can
do a bit of test almost any day, but the cams are on a video monitoring system,
so I'm not able to do long bisects and such.
It's a 2.6.33 -> 2.6.34 regression, I think. I don't know whether it's
a v4l problem or a USB one..
Sounds right, there's quite a bit of version information in the redhat
BZ entry I noted, and I thought it was a Fedora issue at first. Then
when Fedora support said it wasn't going to be fixed for FC13 I tried
the kernel.org source instead. There are some initial comments from
zaitcev@xxxxxxxxxx saying there were patches in git to make it work with
fswebcam (don't use it), but it doesn't seem to with cheese, motion, or
xawtv, so I'm unsure how "fixed" it is.
I'm ready to try stable releases as they come out, or git releases if
need be. I have issues getting time on build machine or time of video
server to do bisect, unfortunately. I looked at the patches all the way
back to 2.6.27, and ibmcam looks inert, so the changes in v4l would be
my first guess. Sorry I can't do more.
