Some distributions provide a way to list modules you want to load
during boot that wouldn't automatically be loaded by hotplug, etc.

On Debian that list is in /etc/modules or /etc/modules-2.6. In that
case you would simply put 'dvb-bt8xx' in that file and everything would
work.

I don't know if FC4 has such a feature, but it would be a lot simpler
than post-install tricks in modprobe.conf.
