Hi
@ Aarf
This is the GRUB stanza that i use (Legacy GRUB)
Code: Select all
# Linux bootable partition config begins
title Puppy Watchdog-v1.1 (216)(Frugal) at hda6
rootnoverify (hd0,5)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=idehd vga=normal acpi=force
initrd /initrd.gz
# Linux bootable partition config ends
You may or may not need the last bit on the kernel line
acpi=force (i do)
As you can see, i have it in the root of the partition (not in a subdirectory)
Also, on the first boot, i had to run the
xorgwizard
otherwise it sat there with a black screen (on two different machines
)

First thing is, you need to figure out which drivers you require for your cameras,
i have no idea what they are personally (sorry)
When you eventually have them installed,
you could try running the following command:
which should give a result similar to this:
sh-3.00# zmu -d /dev/video -q -v

- NOTE:
That is the output with my Pace VC6452V002 ZoomCam plugged in.
This camera required that i modprobe the driver module:
To ensure that it is loaded at each boot, i added the above command to: /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Pay particular attention to the things i have put in
bold (in the output from my camera)
and then click on the
Source to configure your camera and enter some details.
You may need to play around with the
Capture Width &
Capture Height,
obviously DO NOT exceed what your camera is capable of.
Hope this helps
