What does your /etc/modules.conf look like?
Mine has the entries (dmask=255 is nice for debugging ;):
alias char-major-81 videodevX
alias char-major-81-0 meteor2
options meteor2 dmask=255
Does /dev/video0 have minor number 0?

I've been trying to bring up our new Meteor II capture board using the

(v2.4.18-3), v4l2 (20020330), and the driver without any problems
(well, none I couldn't figure out), but when I try to modprobe
meteor2, I get:

Looking at the syslog, I see:
Nov 22 19:05:08 gremlin kernel: Video for Linux One (2.2.16).
Major device: 81 Nov 22 19:05:08 gremlin kernel: Unable to get
major 81 for v4l1/2
There are major 81 devices in /dev already (video0, vtx0, vbi0,
radio0, etc.).
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
