I found the source of the /dev/video0v4l error at boot time. It is coming from scanimage as part of the script /etc/init.d/sane. By the way check the many year error in /etc/init.d/sane the location of scanimage. It is /usr/bin not /usr/X11R6/bin. I did download sane-backend and xsane - compiled both and installed to confirm they were not made defective like xine. so the video0v4l must be coming from SuSE. Anyone have a clue?
Hey Group;
After the last SuSE 9.0 upgrade I have New problem at boot time. It seems some new script run after the runlevel change has a request for /dev/video0v4l which doesn't exist. I would mknod it myself but what major number is it? It is a block device with a minor number 0. /dev/video0 is a charcter device with major number of 81.
A check of kernel Documentation devices.txt also agrees. No such device.
It seems that about every recent SuSE issue has given me headaches. That is why I have stuck with 9.0 and avoided 9.1. This surely includes the kernel. --
