xawtv uses bttv ,tuner, videodev and i2c modules. If I remember right when compiling a kernel include the bttv and videodev options. It's been a while. I had my sound going at one time but now the sound is down but the video works, but the reception around here is bad. I'm thinking about compiling my kernel again. Debian has a better way of compiling a kernel. What it does is makes a deb of the new compiled kernel so you can install it and if it doesn't work you can use the stock kernel and try over again. It's like making a rpm of your new compiled kernel. It even does lilo for you, so when you install it it runs lilo. I'd like to see an option to run grub or lilo. It's very sweet.
I don't think you have one of the modules installed is the reason your getting those errors. I remember having the same problem a long while back. You can always run a google search of the error messages and you will find something. Include xawtv with the search.
