Thanks, I will try and remove the second line and find out if that will load the driver. As stated, I had tried various lines and that was one from a post on the mythtv board. The problem might very well be that second line.

This snippet was from dmesg when I modprobe the bttv driver. As I said, I do not understand why it will not load the driver on boot. But I will remove that one line and try again. Thanks for everyones input. John
