This is pretty much a guess, but I suspect that if the camera locks the box up when you first plug it in you should be looking at the USB or V4L configuration, not the camera driver. When you plug the camera in the USB driver is invoked to figure out what device you're now using, and then the Video for Linux layer does some monkeying around, and I'd guess that it is either the USB layer is not recognizing the dvice and failing (though it really shouldn't) or the Video 4 Linux layer is dying for some other reason. I don't think the camera driver gets involved until you actually try to use it. You might try getting your system in synch with some standard distribution and seeing if that helps.
Actually, I don't think it's usb or v4l, as I've got a usb scanner, wacom tablet and mouse. I've got a v4l capture card that works fine.
I've moved it to a different machine, and will have to recompile the driver because it uses the usb-ohci module rather than the usb-uhci module. At least I guess that's the problem since, the driver fails with unresolved symbol errors.
