Re: question about kernel 2.6
First of all, you shouldn't be compiling kernels from source from
kernel.org unless you have a special reason for it and you what you
are doing.
Instead, you should be installing / compiling new kernels "the Debian
way", which is slightly different, but is quite cool once you get the
hang of it :).
See chapter 9.6.1 on this page:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-post-install.en.html on
how to accomplish this.
About the error you are getting:
- did you type make module_install? I think it should be
modules_install. Also, I can remember this is different in 2.6. Look
at the readme that comes with the kernel-source .deb (see the above
manual on how to get the deb)
- bttv cards should be no problem. Works fine here with my Hauppauge WinTV PCI.
Good luck compiling your kernel the Debain way ;)
