Hmm... I don't think that is what the problem is because dmesg shows:

bttv: disagrees about version of symbol tveeprom_read
bttv: Unknown symbol tveeprom_read

I have also e-mailed the ivtv list because I think it may be a
conflict with the IVTV drivers.

Again, I appreciate everyone's help getting my setup perfect...
