I had am running similar hardware (same MB and a 3000+ on 64 bit gentoo 
linux) and had this similar problem.   If I recall correctly it is some 
kind of conflict between the ivtv modules and the kernel ones.  I think 
I just moved/symlinked both places to the same directory.  I can't get 
into my box now, so I am unable to check.   Do a find for those files 
and you will probably find 2 copies.
