Thanks Sanders for your reply. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough in my previous
posts--I can't provide most of the information requested since ivtv isn't
even getting loaded--it errors out before it gets to the START INIT IVTV
part:

One thing I forgot to include is the actual console error:

FATAL: Error inserting ivtv (/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34
-default/kernel/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv.ko): Unknown
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

And /var/log/messages reports:

Dec 29 08:05:28 linux kernel: ivtv: Unknown parameter `tda9887'

It does not lock up when ivtv is loaded since ivtv never gets loaded. I do
not believe Suse provides the ivtv module.

I had stated before that this was a clean Suse 10.2 install, but now that I
think about it, it was an upgrade from Suse 10.2 RC1 which was an upgrade
from Suse 10.2 beta 2. Hmm... maybe there's some left over files, but I
doubt they would be from ivtv 0.4. I do know that the ivtv.ko it references
above is definitely the one I just compiled.

I believe the above answers questions 1-7 except 5. I'm assuming that the
modules are in the right place because of the above console error.

One thing you said: [And the error "ivtv: Unknown parameter `tda9887'"
proves you still have this option set] gives me something to go on. Let me
grep for tda9887 and see if it shows up in a second file. Thanks!

And the error "ivtv: Unknown parameter `tda9887'" proves you still have
this option set. There is no option by this name anymore in 0.8.

And start providing the info from the asking for help link I gave
earlier. If you do not provide the info people can only guess and make
assumptions as to what could be the problem.

1: Does it lockup when ivtv is loaded?
2: Is the module at all loaded
3: Does Suse also provide the ivtv module? If so try that one or make
sure it is NOT installed.
4: Did you do an upgrade from 10.0? If so there might be old ivtv 0.4
modules so make sure they are deleted.
5: Are the modules installed in the correct module directory?
6: Provide the init ivtv message from dmesg. If you do not have this
ivtv never got loaded.
   dmesg | tac |
     sed -n '/=\ \ END INIT IVTV\ \ =/,/= START INIT IVTV =/p;
     /= START INIT IVTV =/q' |
   tac
7: Do you get an error when you "modprobe ivtv"? If so provide the error
message and look in dmesg for more info.
