I just compile the kernel 2.4.22. I installed the v4l2 and the saa7134. I have the i2c modules. (CONFIG_I2C=M) However, I can't use them and I can't also use the xawtv. I don't know what problem I have. Would anybody please kindly help me.

Did you patch the kernel?

Okay, one thing that's needed after installing saa7134 is:
======================================================
#!/bin/bash

for i in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/v4l2/*; do
mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/`basename $i`{,.rem}
done

depmod -a
======================================================

in order to make sure old modules in the video directory such as tuner.o are not used
and that the v4l2 stuff is used instead. At that point, modprobe saa7134 should
invoke the right I2C modules and so on. (you may still need an entry to
/etc/modules.conf to get your correct saa7134 tuner and so on, turning
on some debug messages may also help)
