Subject: 2.4.10 + ibmcam : hard freeze on read()



I've been trying to diagnose why 2.4.10 locks hard, instantly, when
read()ing /dev/video0 (which is an ibmcam usb video camera).

I'm using usb-uhci on an Athlon 600 system. Here is the output of lspci:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-751 [Irongate]

00:0f.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-7850 (rev 01)
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 3 (rev
01)

I have attached my .config

Unfortunately, the hang is instantaneous and I cannot get any info on
what is happening, other than the light on the camera (which indicates
that the camera is sending data) stays on forever after the hang.

This camera worked fine under 2.4.7, the previous kernel I was running.

Has anyone else seen any USB, v4l, or ibmcam problems in 2.4.10?
