I assume the"it" is ivtv.o . When it "wouldn't load", it (or maybe
modprobe) reported some actual error. For this kind of troubleshooting, you
need to report that error to us.

This may be enough of a mismatch to cause a problem. Or your kernel may
have been compiled meaving out something that ivtv.o needs.
I *think* 2.4.22 is new enough that is had the list-handling functions
built in (ivtv failed to compile against my 2.4.19 source because some of
these functions were not present, but I moved up to 2.4.24). And ivtv seems
to expect kernel debugging to be compiled in (though a 1-line change to the
ivtv source fixed that for me).
So details still count here ... especially if you load new kernel source
(as you say below that you plan to try) and still have problems.
