Actually, I had recompiled and upgraded the kernel to 2.4 just after I 
installed Debian 3.0.  I did not patch it to include the bttv driver, but I 
did enable Video4Linux support.  I am assuming now that the correct way is 
to patch it and recompile.  I will try that.  However, one of the things I 
usually do is make everything built-in to the kernel and not use any 
modules at all.  It can probably be argued either way whether that is a 
good or bad thing, but I have never had problems before doing it that way.

Will try this.  I wish the docs were clearer on how to patch the kernel 
using the bttv driver 0.7.  Maybe I'll try the 0.9 driver.
