Okay, is it possible that some syslog-output is missing? There should be
some lines with the string 'goto_high/low_power' and 'save_camera_state'.
Anyway, the empty version-fields in the /proc/cpia/videoN indicate that
the first power up of the camera failed. I have some suggestion that might
help with this. Stay tuned.

Apparently there is also a bug in the module load that allows an open even
if the initial query of the camera failed. I check that out. It is the
source of the ooops but it is not the source of your problem. I try to
make a short test patch this evening.

Greetings, Peter
