Silly question, when you built your saa7134 modules, did you do a 'make
install'? It puts the modules by default in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/v4l2
instead of the path above. There'd be two versions of the driver and
modprobe looks for it in .../kernel/drivers/media/video instead of
.../v4l2.

Other caveats are that you should build the modules when running
the kernel you're using, with the same gcc/compiler tools. At
this moment, I think it's best you roll your own kernel and patch 
it with the latest v4l2 patches. Otherwise strange problems can occur.
