Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Reason for request: Looks like board came unseated, and after reseating recognizes board once again. Seems to be proper behaviour for a dry module load.

Dmesg and lspci output would be nice here.

Dmesg output that it gives for bttv is listed in additional info.
Device doesn't show up in lspci which is somewhat unusual.

A clean message when the module is loaded but does nothing, and lspci doesn't show anything. This sounds like maybe I need to check the card to see if it is seated or making good contact and not collecting dust.

The presence of the ivtv board along with the bttv board was confusing because the bttv board uses xawtv but the ivtv board doesn't. Running xawtv with the ivtv board present would make me think that the bttv board is still working.
