Webcam not being detected properly

Hello,

I'm trying to connect a Logitech B500 UVC-compliant webcam to the
BeagleBoard, and it's not showing up as /dev/video0. It does show up
as /dev/usbdev1.X_ep87, where "X" is the USB device address.

dmesg returns the following:

[ 4039.684417] usb 1-2.3: new high speed USB device using ehci-omap
and address 12
[ 4039.993652] usb 1-2.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 4040.305816] v4l1_compat: disagrees about version of symbol
struct_module
[ 4040.396179] videodev: disagrees about version of symbol
struct_module
[ 4040.484588] uvcvideo: disagrees about version of symbol
struct_module

I'm using the Angstrom image referenced at http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners,
along with the corresponding modules.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
-Bill

The error message above implies that you aren't using the corresponding modules. Copy the uImage from /boot to the fat partition and retry.
