However, during the boot I get uvcvideo: Failed to query (129) UVC control 1 (unit 0) : -32 right after "loading hardware drivers...". Googling a bit, I found out that this error message is harmless and can be ignored. And, in fact, the camera completely works despite that. However, randomly the module fails to load. In those cases, the message above is shown twice and after the two lines I get "failed to initialize device". When that happens, the camera does not work until I do a modprobe uvcvideo manually (works fine after that). This error seems random and I'm not sure how to reproduce. It seems a race condition is happening during the module loading. This problem was worse in Gutsy, where it happened more or less in one out of four or five boots. Now in Hardy it happens VERY rarely, but still happens. My workaround was blacklisting uvcvideo and adding it to /etc/modules. This ensures the module is loaded during the "loading manual drivers..." stage, which happens after "loading hardware drivers..." has finished. That seemed to fix the problem.
