I have gotten to this place 4 times after complete re-installs. :^(
I have a WINTV PVR 350 card on a P4PE ASUS MB w/ a 2.4ghz and 1 GIG
of RAM.
I followed Jarod's Guide..
When I do a /sbin/modprobe ivtv, I get this:
[root at myth root]# /sbin/modprobe ivtv
Warning: ignoring debug=1, no such parameter in this module
/lib/modules/2.4.20-24_31.rh9.at/updates/drivers/media/video/ivtv.o: init_module: No such device
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
/lib/modules/2.4.20-24_31.rh9.at/updates/drivers/media/video/ivtv.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-24_31.rh9.at/updates/drivers/media/video/ivtv.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-24_31.rh9.at/updates/drivers/media/video/ivtv.o: insmod ivtv failed
The relevant output of /var/log/messages is:

It's almost as if the WinTV PVR 350 is not recognized on the system at
all. This is borne out by the output of /proc/interrupts:
[root at myth root]# cat /proc/interrupts

I have swapped the PVR card to different PCI slots with no change.
The only thing I can think of that is different from Jarod's Guide is
the kernel.
"Install his latest kernel and kernel-source packages (as of this writing), like so:
# apt-get install kernel#2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at kernel-source#2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at"
The latest kernel according to the link provided was ...20-24_31,
which is what I installed.
And the .exe on the Hauptpauge web site is now pvr250_17_21288.exe
instead of pvr250_17_21226.exe, so I installed the 88.exe one.
I have tried to find the older kernel version mentioned in the Guide,
but it is obsolete and UTL.
I have read up on the GOSSAMER forums as well, but didn't find any
help there. Some clues that did not pan out.
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
