You could try the vic-2.8ucl1.3.0-0.1.20070816svn.el5 RPM instead. I built
some i386 RHEL5/CentOS5 AG RPMs a few days ago:

'dmesg' might give some indication of what's going on.
On RHEL5, try installing a kernel-2.6.22 RPM from Fedora Core6 updates and
see if you get the same symptoms with the V4L that comes with the newer
kernel.
