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.

Thanks a lot for you advice. I will try it. But one thing I am still curious
about is why the built-in bttv.o in red hat 7.3 can be loaded without any
problem on both C3 and P4 platform? How do they build the driver so that it
can be machine independent?

You can specify the CPU type to be i386 (generic).
I still don't know if the fingerprinting applies to modules, maybe not.
