Unknown directory /dev/video1 after kernel upgrade


On Mandriva 2007, I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.17-6mdk and afterwards, when I go to bring up my usb webcams, I get the errors such as it can't find directory /dev/video1, etc. Is there something I am supposed to do after a kernel upgrade (that I didn't need to do with Mandriva 2006)?

I was specifically using camE, for which I did a urpme followed by a urpmi of it, and it made no difference.

The system is fully uptodate with all updates.

Resolved. I forgot that this was not a dkms enabled driver (gspca) so I had to compile it and modprobe it.
