Ok,  Thanks for everyones suggestions.

I've disabled a few things and the interrupts have changed and got the
following:
7:          0          XT-PIC  ivtv: iTVC15/16 mpg2 encoder chip

I am going to start from scratch and try compiling and installing
everything using the instructions in the FAQ.  If this doesn't work I'll
probably try installing Mandrake next weekend.  

Is there a particular version that is recommended.
