Hm... No ivtv module in there... Have you run:

modprobe ivtv

With all that in there? Try another /sbin/lsmod after running that (but first, 
add the line for the second card as detailed below).

For the second ivtv card, you should add:
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv

Don't wipe the machine. There's nothing that isn't recoverable without a clean 
installation (except maybe a terribly horked rpm database). Even if you do, 
save your database and your recordings directory, and you'll still have 
access to all your recordings. I've moved my master capture backend from a 
machine running FC1 to a completely different machine running FC2 without 
losing a thing, because I brought over the database and recordings directory.
