Haven't updated that section, I guess. You don't get that anymore without some 
higher debug settings for the ivtv module. Initialized card #0 is sufficient 
evidence you've got a /dev/video0 now, I believe.

Check out some of the stuff in the ivtv section of the FC3 version, there's a

echo 16384 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes

See if that helps...
