[cpia] Problem with cpia-0.7.4

[Jacob Nikom]

Hi Johannes,

Thank you very much for your response. There is nothing 
in my /proc/bus/usb directory. I think it is empty because
I did not have any devices but CPIA camera.

Here is the list of my configuration settings related
to USB and CPIA:

#
# USB support
#
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI=y
# CONFIG_USB_OHCI is not set
# CONFIG_USB_PRINTER is not set
# CONFIG_USB_SCANNER is not set
# CONFIG_USB_AUDIO is not set
# CONFIG_USB_ACM is not set
# CONFIG_USB_SERIAL is not set
# CONFIG_USB_IBMCAM is not set
# CONFIG_USB_OV511 is not set
# CONFIG_USB_DC2XX is not set
# CONFIG_USB_MDC800 is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE is not set
# CONFIG_USB_USS720 is not set
# CONFIG_USB_DABUSB is not set
# CONFIG_USB_PLUSB is not set
# CONFIG_USB_PEGASUS is not set
# CONFIG_USB_RIO500 is not set
# CONFIG_USB_DSBR is not set
# CONFIG_USB_HID is not set
# CONFIG_USB_KBD is not set
# CONFIG_USB_MOUSE is not set
# CONFIG_USB_WACOM is not set
# CONFIG_USB_WMFORCE is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV is not set

CONFIG_VIDEO_BWQCAM=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CQCAM=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA_PP=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA_USB=y

When I tried to mount my /proc/bus/usb directory,
I got an error:
[nikom@xxx linux]# mount /proc/bus/usb
mount: can't find /proc/bus/usb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[nikom@xxx linux]#

Should I edit fstab manually or the correct version should be
created automatically? I suspect, there is something wrong in 
my kernel configuration settings but I don't know what it could be.

Regards,

Jacob Nikom
