Dear all,
I build the source code of bttv (0.7.94) and insert the module successfully
on one platform (red hat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3) + VIA C3 800 CPU). But when I
then try to insert the same binary module directly on the other platform
(red hat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3) + P4 1.4G CPU), the system always shows a lot
of error messages like "unresolved symbol xxx" and fails to insert the
module. Does anyone has the same experience or know why? Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Kevin

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.

I think modules compiled on one system have fingerprints linked to that
kernel (unless you've disabled that in the kernel config and recompiled
the kernel).
Eg. I don't think it'll work even if it was the same CPU on another
platform.
