RVDowning Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I notice that my 2008.0 updates yesterday included a kernel update. My cams today (driver: dkms-gspcav1) don't work. Do I just need to reinstall the driver or is anything else required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Do you have kernel-desktop-devel-latest installed? If you do, it should 'just work' when you boot to the new kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVDowning Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) I did: urpmi kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.22.9-2mdv That didn't make the cams work, even after a reboot, so I tried a urpme/urpmi of dkms-gspcav1 and still no joy. I rebooted again with the previous kernel and again did a urpme/urpmi of dkms-gspcav1 and they still don't work. So, now I am again on the latest kernel again. I figure if the cams are not going to work on either kernel anyway, then I might as well be on the latest one. Anyway, when I did a urpme of kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.22.9-2mdv and instead a urpmi of urpmi kernel-desktop-devel-latest it worked. Doesn't make sense to me, but that is the way it is. I do wish that they would default kernel upgrades to unchecked to make it less likely that the kernel will get upgraded by accident.

adamw Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 The intention is that kernel upgrades should happen automatically and everything should 'just work', so when this doesn't happen I'm interested in what went wrong. So the situation now is that the cameras are working? I'm still a little unsure on exactly what you did and what changed :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
