I followed this tutorial to the letter: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/CentOS
After everything was done the 3 cameras didn't show up in /dev, so I installed GSPCA and rebooted. Everything worked fine except that the montage mode would show a random camera on all three windows, sometimes the same on all three and sometimes not. Individually selected, the cameras were fine. I set up zones and left to go have lunch.
I get back and can't load the web UI. I check the box, Kernel Panic. It said something about GSPCA.
This same thing happened to me every few hours on my last install. Completely different hardware. Different version of ZM. Same cameras.
My current setup is:
P4 2.8Ghz 512 DDR400 70GB 10KRPM Ultra 320 HD
SuperMicro SuperServer 5013G-6
CentOS 5.4
Kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 on i686
Zoneminder 1.24.2
git clone git://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/
Two Microsoft cams and a generic all running the same basic chip type according to gspca.
Everything updated today.
When it panics again, I'll write it up here...
What can I copy/paste in here to help?
Kernel Panic 1.24.2 + CentOS 5.4
A kernel Panic means that something is not playing nice between the driver and the kernel in short. Likely you need to patch either the kernel for the driver or patch the driver for the version of kernel you are using assuming there is a fix. Out side of the scope of ZoneMinder really.
You might want to google around the dev lists for GSPCA and see if there is a patch.
