Huh. I thought a properly set up modules.conf would take care of 
getting everything loaded, well before the backend starts... It does 
for me anyhow, but the presence of lirc and add belows for it may be 
forcing ivtv to load around the time lirc loads for me.

Glad to see another nForce2 user with a solid system... :) A common 
thread between your system and mine seems to be a Red Hat/ATrpms 
kernel. Are there any nForce2 users out there running either the latest 
Red Hat or ATrpms kernels, and still having lockups?

I can't recall if I have APIC disabled in the BIOS or not, but I 
certainly didn't do anything special to the kernel to disable anything.
