[mythtv-users] Questions from the logs

Hello. I have a couple of questions about stuff I am seeing in my log.

I just upgraded to the latest ivtv (0.1.10pre2-ck35) from ATRPMS and am
getting these lines:

kernel: tuner: chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus ivtv i2c driver #0
kernel: tuner: type set to 2 (Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and
compatibles)) by insmod option
kernel: tuner: The type=<n> insmod option will go away soon.
kernel: tuner: Please use the tuner=<n> option provided by
kernel: tuner: tv aard core driver (bttv, saa7134, ...) instead.

***Should I be concerned?

Also, I used to have a WinTV Go card in here with the bt878 chipset. I
am still seeing bttv messages:

kernel: bttv: driver version 0.7.104 loaded
kernel: bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (8320k total) for capture
kernel: bttv: Host bridge is VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365
[KT133/KM133]
insmod:
/lib/modules/2.4.20-30_37.rh9.at/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o:
init_module: No such device
insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.       You may find
more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
insmod:
/lib/modules/2.4.20-30_37.rh9.at/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o:
insmod bttv failed

***How do I get rid of/stop bttv from loading on boot? Or do I need it?
I am running a PVR-350 now (not using TV-Out option).

Also, back in the bt878 days, I loaded the rivatv modules. 

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module rivatv

***Again, how do I remove this now?

And the last (probably not Myth related, but I will dump it in here
anyway ;-) ):

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-188

When I look thru /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/devices.txt, this is
listed as "188 = /dev/smbusbios    SMBus BIOS".
When I ran sensors-detect, I chose smbus, rather than ISA. I have an
Asus A7V-133-C mobo.

***Should I run it again and choose ISA this time?

Thanks for your help.
Matt
