I am following Jarod's guide and everything has been
smooth so far, (I had much to learn about apt, and
then latest update helped that too.)  

So, first thanks for getting me this far.

My issue is that when I run and insmod for the saa7127
driver, I get a "device not found" problem.  Here is
my modprobe.conf.  (2.6.8-1.152)


alias eth0 via-rhine
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
snd-via82xx && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null
2>&1 || :
remove snd-via82xx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store
>/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r
--ignore-remove snd-via82xx
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-6111
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=2
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe msp3400 saa7115 tuner
v4l1-compat; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv;
/sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
options msp3400 once=0 simpler=1 simple=0



And here is my output when I run the commands found
under section  "10. Get and install capture card
driver"

I am sure there is something simple I am missing, but
I haven't been able to find it for a few nights. 
Thanks in advance for any help.
