Lonnie,

    Again, please pardon my ignorance. :)

I thought that the kernel was monolithic and the modules were all compiled into one kernel binary? If so, what should I be renaming?

When I do a locate ivtv, I get several sets of things that don't look like source or docs, any of which I could potentially rename:

I get /sys/module/ivtv/ with a bunch of files and directories under it.

I get /usr/lib/ivtv/ivtvfwextract.pl which is certainly not a driver.

I get /lib/modules/ which has ivtv-fw-enc.bin and some other .bin files in it.

I get /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1378_FC3/updates/drivers/media/ video/ with ivtv.ko and other ivtv related .ko files. Would these be the kernel modules that I would rename? I don't seem to have any other ivtv.ko files anywhere else on the system.

Thanks for your patience,
Peter Darley

     So, my current question is: is there any way to override the
kernel module with an external one, so the kerenel module doesn't
load, or am I to the point where my only hope is to re-compile the
kernel with the new module, or without any ivtv module and then load
the package one?


I renamed the conflicting kernel modules, ran depmod -a, and then it
only sees the ivtv ones.
