Ok,

I tried the following:
rmmod ivtv
/etc/init.d/hotplug restart

And lo and behold: The firmware loaded fine!

So I am thinking that maybe ivtv gets loaded too early, ie before 
hotplug is started or something... I will definately be looking at what 
happens during the next boot in more detail!

Now to test the card when I get back home...  ;-)
(And figure out what goes wrong during boottime!)
