Hi all,
This is a phenomenon I cannot explain. Most probably I borked somewhere but I don't know what exactly I have done. So I hope that someone here could give me a hint.
Usb is managed by hotplug and it's doing a good job. Webcam and scanner are at my service whenever I want to use them.
I have a digicam too ( Canon Powershot Pro 90 IS ) which only root could use until recently. I've rectified the pernission-issue by following the steps described in the gphoto2 documentation:
| Code: | | # /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-usb-usermap >> /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap |
Then I copied the usbcam.group-file from /usr/share/doc/libgphoto2/linux-hotplug into /etc/hotplug/usb, renamed it usbcam and edited it so that group=camera has access to the digicam.
Then I made the file executable:
| Code: | | chmod +x /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam |
I've switched on the camera and the permission-issue was no more:
| Code: | $ ls -lR /proc/bus/usb/
/proc/bus/usb/:

Gentoo still boots fine since then but when hotplug is being started I can watch it work with some scripts. I cannot see what it is - it is running too fast; something concerning drivers.
This happens for roughly half a minute. After finish the booting continues normally 
Does anyone have an idea?
TIA
