Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-ubuntu-
After kernel upgrade 2.6.24-18-generic, the webcam ( Creative PD1170 ) has stopped working. The module 'gspca' will not load and generates an error message and /dev/vide0 is not created.
The package containing this module is linux-ubuntu-
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.
I expected the webcam to work as it usually did with ekiga and xawtv
Camera failed to work.
I've stopped using 2.6.24-18 and went back to 2.6.24-17-generic which works perfectly.
Plugging the camera in with 2.6.24.17

Hi Neville,
Is this still an issue with the more recent 2.6.24-19 release?
Also since development for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release is under way, care to confirm this is still an issue with the latest Alpha for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10. You should be able to test via a LiveCD - http:// www.ubuntu. com/testing. Please let us know your results. If the issue still exists, per the kernel team's bug policy, can you please attach the following information. Please be sure to attach each file as a separate attachment.
* cat /proc/version_ signature > version.log
* dmesg > dmesg.log
* sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log
For more information regarding the kernel team bug policy, please refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelTeamB ugPolicies . Thanks again and we appreciate your help and feedback.
Additionally, beginning with the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 development cycle the linux-ubuntu- modules package was actually merged with the linux kernel package. Going forward, bugs that would have been reported against linux-ubuntu- modules should now just be reported against linux. I'll go ahead and add the 'linux' task for this report. Thanks.
