Normally this means the module that is being inserted has been compiled
for a different kernel to the one currently running.
First, what's the output of "uname -r"? It should match up to the
directory you were looking at in /lib/modules.
If it does, as root run "depmod -a" and don't use insmod anymore.
Instead use "modprobe" which is more intelligent than insmod. You don't
need to specify the extension of the module and you don't need to be in
any specific directory.
So in your case "modprobe -v bttv". The -v makes the output more verbose.
Check lsmod at each stage to see what's loaded. If in doubt, reboot to
wipe the slate clean. It may be that "alsaconf" has unloaded a module
that bttv needs.
I don't have any experience using TV cards under Linux so the only help
I can offer is very general.
Regards,
David.
