Comment 4 for bug 273469

new linux image with updates today included 2.6.27.4. The problem persists. I have tried several boot options to no avail, and oddly boot options do not seem to affect whether the applications works in the earlier kernel...it just works.

I did notice this message during boot of the 2.6.27 kernel: "cannot open /dev/input/uinput....bad file descriptor..."

Depending on how interrupts are handled, via boot options, dmesg | tail might show:

ily="x25" sock_type="seqpacket" protocol=0 pid=6890 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd"
[ 277.229202] ppdev0: registered pardevice
[ 277.260216] ppdev0: unregistered pardevice
[ 280.131271] ppdev0: registered pardevice
[ 280.170456] ppdev0: unregistered pardevice
[ 929.760933] quickcam: frame lost
[ 1082.883841] quickcam: frame lost

However this has no affect on how the cam performs in the 2.6.26 kernel.
