Umm... silly question, but do you mean that you built the bttv module on the C3-800 and then tried to run it on the P4-1.4?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the kernels for Cyrix (C3) and P4 processors are different, and a module compiled for one won't run on the other.
You need to compile the bttv module on the P4.
