Actually, the 2.4 default code can be compiled without the camera support and then you can later turn the camera on. Just go to Project/Build Options/Project and click the MPLAB C18 tab. If you remove _USE_CMU_CAMERA, the camera code will be ignored by the compiler.
Alternatively, you can edit user_camera.h and comment out the #define FREEZE_ON_ERROR. This define causes the blinking Red lights and the controller errors if there is any communication problem with the camera.
On a separate note, has anyone seen the tracking packets from the camera quit after some time when Kevin's gyro code is integrated into the 2.4 default code? I'm suspecting an interrupt conflict or corruption between the gyro's 400hz interrupt and the camera's serial port for receiving the T packet data. Anyone seen anything similar?
