You need to enable I2C related items in the kernel configuration first,
then you need to enable BT848 Video For Linux.  (The option for selecting
BT848 does not appear at all if you haven't enabled I2C support and I2C
bit-banging interfaces in the character device section.)

You obviously need to load the module for it to work.  Have you
followedthe instructions for doing so, which can be found in the
Documentation/video4linux/bttv/README file under the Linux kernel
source directory?

I believe you haven't loaded the bttv module.  No amount of symlinking
can change that (regards to whoever posted after you).  The output from
dmesg, which the previous poster already asked you to send, will confirm
that.
