PCI TV Card help!

Ok i have a BT848KPF chipset on this tuner, there are no other markings or model numbers on it so im unsure of the brand of the card. I recompiled my kernel to include support for i2c and v4l and a module for the card (bttv) btw.. this is kernel 2.6.0

Now here is the output of lspci

My probelm is, when i modprobe bttv, the computer locks... completely? any ideas what to try next?

Got a log error?

Check through /var/log/syslog to see if any wackiness got logged on probe.

nothing pertaining to videodev or bttv in the log :confused:

which bttv.o are you using? the one from the kernel or the one downloaded from bttv? try the other one.
