we need an oops output.

pls boot into single mode without klogd/syslogd 
running and run $cat /dev/video<n> >> /dev/null 

then move your hand slighty in front of the sensor to darken the light 
it should print a oops trace then. take screenphoto and compare it with 
the other oopses posted on this list lately. if it is new post it.

better way is to attach another machine with serial cable and minicom 
and boot the camera machine with serial console. if it stalls the 
oops gets printed in minicom on the other machine.

read <kernel>/Documentaion/"serial console" about how to configure 
lilo/grub.

example:
title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.16 (serial console)
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16 root=/dev/hda1 ro single console=ttyS0,57600n8 <-----
savedefault
boot


then use ksymoops to decode the oops and post it here.

thx
tom
