Hi
Thanks Alan for the clarifying this ...
System: SMP (2xPentIII 700, 500MB ram), Red Hat
7.1 upgraded last week. Bttv never worked, but
worked just fine with 2.2.15.
Compiled Kernel 2.4.5 with the necessary v4l and
i2c stuff. I have a problem with loading bttv:
Error message when I try to "insmod bttv":
/lib/modules/2.4..5/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o:
unresolved symbol i2c_bit_add_bus_Rsmp_d53ef5ba
There are about 6 lines all similar to the above
...is is something to do with smp? Thanks.
