What 0.9.11 loads with 0.7.106 version? There is no v4l2.
Thanks a lot for u'r comments and suggestions.If we make v4l2
available, will the problem in discussion get over? If so how to make
v4l2 available in my system ? (...)
What Hermann probably wanted to point out is that you may have installed
0.9.11 but are in fact still using the previous 0.7.106 version of bttv.
Usually this is because v4l2 modules are installed in a different
directory, so the old bttv modules are not overwritten during the
upgrade. Which of the duplicate modules are picked by modprobe then
is probably more or less random.
You should look at /lib/modules/2.x.x/kernel/drivers/media/video/
and remove or rename all modules there which are duplicate in respect
to /lib/modules/2.x.x/v4l2/ and run "depmod" again afterwards (replace
2.x.x in the paths with your kernel's version number)
If anyone knows a more elegant way to solve this problem please let me
know. This sure isn't the first time I had to help people with this.

for module in tuner.o bttv.o tda9887.o video-buf.o; do
rm -f /lib/modules/$KERNELVERSION/kernel/drivers/media/video/$module
fi
depmod
Or:
for module in /lib/modules/$KERNELVERSION/v4l2/*.o; do
rm -f /lib/modules/$KERNELVERSION/kernel/drivers/media/video/`basename
$module`
done
I don't really see why this isn't part of the install script to begin with.
