The source tree that you had... did you configure, compile, and install
your currently running kernel from it?  Also, when you went into the
configuration to add the bttv driver, did you make everything a module?

A good thing to try is often to do a make clean on your kernel tree,
make sure it's configured the way you want it, and then do a fresh
build, install it, and boot into it...  Typically when you get
unresolved symbols like that, it indicates some sort of kernel mismatch.
