Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30189

Affects: linux-source-2.6.12 linux-headers-2.6.12-10-386 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
in /lib/modules/2.6.12/ivtv I got after an 'sudo insmod ./ivtv.ko' the following error: 
insmod: error inserting './ivtv.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

'dmesg | tail' puts this message in the log:
[4299271.391000] ivtv: Unknown symbol video_device_release
[4299443.723000] ivtv: Unknown symbol release_firmware
[4299443.723000] ivtv: Unknown symbol i2c_bit_add_bus
[4299443.723000] ivtv: Unknown symbol request_firmware
[4299443.723000] ivtv: Unknown symbol i2c_bit_del_bus
[4299443.723000] ivtv: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
[4299443.723000] ivtv: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
[4299443.724000] ivtv: Unknown symbol video_register_device
[4299443.724000] ivtv: Unknown symbol video_usercopy
[4299443.724000] ivtv: Unknown symbol video_device_release

So I think that i2c and videodev aren't in this kernel. Under "Hoary" it
looked good, but now under "Breezy" - ...no chance. A simple 'sudo
modprobe ivtv' gives me a "FATAL: module ivtv not found". My ivtv
installation looks good ('make & make install' with no errors and I put
the firmware in the right directory), so I think it must be a (simple)
bug.
