Yes, I use the spca5xx driver module.  I've used it for my Ezonics 
EZ-306 USB webcam with FC2 and now with FC4.  I'm currently running the 
stock 2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 i686 kernel on a Gigabyte GA-7VT600-L 
motherboard with an AMD XP 2600+ processor using the spca5xx-20050601 
loadable module driver.  It works fine with GnomeMeeting and does not 
cause any boot problems with the webcam plugged in at boot time.  I 
assume you have done a fresh rebuild and reinstall of the spca5xx 
module?  Tony Nelson's suggestion to check your boot dmesg log file to 
see when the spca5xx module is loaded is a good idea.  The spca5xx 
module is the last module loaded on my system.  Make sure it is loading 
after your USB drivers.
