According to those messages, the bttv driver is already being loaded.
Do you see the bttv module loaded when doing lsmod?
Also, how about modprobe bttv?
Or modprobe /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/misc/bttv.o (specifying the full
path?)
When trying to get a Hauppauge WinTV 401 working on 7.2, the drivers
bundled were the kernel ones, which are hopelessly out of date, and not
functional. On 8.0, running xawtv would hard freeze the system when
using XFree86 4.0.3, and I had to revert to 3.3.6 to get it working.
(Actually, every system I've tried 4.0.3 on has had major issues which
resulted in reverting to 3.3.6)
