Hello, I've just installed a 2.6.0 kernel from the unstable kernel-source package, and I can't get my bttv card working, while it worked with kernel 2.4.18, and it still works with the Knoppix CD (see below). I load the bttv module manually. Here is what I get with lsmod after "modprobe bttv":

However if I boot on a Knoppix CD, the card works perfectly with xawtv 3.88.

(the card and tuner detected are the same as in Knoppix so it should work...) Could the problem be related to ACPI in kernel 2.6 ?
