need to know some more, such as:
compilation options
what you got in /etc/modules.conf
your webcam

In kernel you need: video4linux, usb drivers and usb audio support if
your webcam is usb.

in modules.conf you have to add the lines
#if you have usb webcam
alias char-major-180 usbcore
post-install usbcore insmod <usb_adapter>  # uhci, usb-uhci, usb-ohci
#endif
alias char-major-81 <webcam_module_name>

update modules.dep
check the modules loaded with
# lsmod

you can load modules by hand with

# modprobe module_name
