no worries..we'll be patient.. (like a kid in a candy store :>) copy 
your system.map-2.4.20 to System.map and that should fix you.

Right.. thats the problem. for some reason he's trying to locate that 
module or alias.... you need to add an alias in modules.conf for char 
major 81 that says videodev
