I am having difficulties getting drivers for my video frame grabber to
load at boot time.

This is my current modules.conf, although I have tried several
variations:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 3c59x
alias usb-controller usb-ohci
# bttv
alias char-major-81 vidiodev
install bttv modprobe
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
# NVidia video card driver
alias char-major-195 NVdriver
alias sound-slot-0 es1371
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :

The problems I am having have to do with the section marked # bttv.

If I run 'modprobe bttv' after the system is booted, the needed modules
are properly loaded, but I can't get them to load at boot time.

lsmod after booting shows me this:
[jgribbin@jimsajsws jgribbin]$ cat lsmod.txt

lsmod after running 'modprobe bttv' shows me this:

Can someone please point out what I'm doing wrong?
