[mythtv-users] Problems w insalling capture card driver

Got to the installing capture card portion of
MythTV and hit a roadblock.  I am running P4, 2.4
Ghz, with PVR-250 and Nvidia GeForce with 64Mb
VRAM, and 256 MB memory on a 60 GB hard drive.
I went through the install guide step by step and
 as you can see from the output below, the system
is not locating the module ivtv.  I included the
different outputs from the commands I ran and the
output generated.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
George
