I noticed that the bttv tuner driver has changed some how.    I'm 
getting the following status message during the loading of the usbvision 
driver.   The tuner module still works just fine, but since I was trying 
to debug someone's problem.   I noticed the message in their logfile.

What I don't understand is I'm running the same kernel and have not 
updated from yum, to a newer version of the kernel.   I noticed this 
problem about last Friday.

Again, I can not explain how this is possible.   Still using the 541 
kernel.   The kernel would have to be upgraded for the tuner module to 
be updated.
