Unknown Symbol in module


When I modprobe for a module that I just installed it says
FATAL: Error inserting ivtv (list out the directory): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg then prints out dmesg | grep ivtv
ivtv: Unknown symbol tveeprom_read ivtv: Unknown symbol tveeprom_hauppage_analog (repeat that like 3 times and thats what happens)
How do i get this to be a known Symbol, cause lspci says that it sees my card so I am thinking that it is a module issue. Anyone seen anything like this

Sounds to me that it's an issue of the module that you're trying to load having a dependency on another module that isn't loaded yet.
