SuSE Linux: Version 6.4
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux. Therefore some of the informations given in this article may be outdated or the article may contain stale links.

Symptom:

You want to run the script /usr/doc/packages/bttv/tools/update to load the bttv modules for your TV card. The script quits with the following error message:
   insmod: i2c: no module by that name found

Cause:

The module i2c.o has been renamed to i2c-old.o with SuSE Linux 6.4.

Solution:

The script update has always to be adjusted to your TV card. A description, which options you can pass to the modules can be found in /usr/doc/packages/bttv/README.SuSE.english. If you are using SuSE 6.4 change the names of the module i2c to i2c-old. Like this:
   xrmmod i2c-old
and
   
   xinsmod i2c-old
