The bttv-driver is part of the kernel tree. My current version (2.4.21) uses a bttv 0.7.x driver. So the cleanest way to do that is probably to install multiple kernel versions: - My old version uses a 2.4.4 kernel. - On the bttv-page, a patch for 2.4 26 is available which (probably) upgrades to bttv 0.9.x. The latter needs a different modules.conf. Depending on the kernel I actually boot, this file must be regenerated as part of the boot process. How? - The 2.6.x series is slightly incompatible with the 2.4.x series (alsa etc.) Moreover, I heard some rumour that 2.6 does not support Promise raid controllers. I depend on it. Is this fixed?
