[mythtv-users] Another PVR-250 IR failure

Ok, I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I followed the instructions for installing myth on RH9 posted here, and everything so far seems to work, but I cannot for my life get a peep out of my remote (the old black one)

I got the latest CVS version of everything, including lirc. I used lircd.conf file from ivtv, I even tested my remote with a camcorder to make sure it is actually sending ir codes.

modules load and lirc starts no problems (it IS trying to load bttv.o for whatever reason and failing)
but when I run irw, i get nothing (no errors, no messages)

here is what is in the /var/log/messages:
-----------------------------------
Jun 15 22:11:31 watcher kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
Jun 15 22:11:35 watcher kernel: bttv: driver version 0.7.104 loaded
Jun 15 22:11:35 watcher kernel: bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (8320k total) for capture
Jun 15 22:11:35 watcher kernel: bttv: Host bridge is Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset Host Bridge
Jun 15 22:11:35 watcher insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9.2atrpms/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o: init_module: No such device
Jun 15 22:11:35 watcher insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.       You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
Jun 15 22:11:35 watcher insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9.2atrpms/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o: insmod bttv failed

Jun 15 22:11:35 watcher kernel: lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin:sample_rate: 10
-----------------------------------

Someone suggested using irrecord, but if I run it I get:

------------------------------------
[root at watcher daemons]# ./irrecord -v
irrecord 0.5
[root at watcher daemons]# ./irrecord pvr.conf

irrecord -  application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc

Copyright (C) 1998,1999 Christoph Bartelmus(lirc at bartelmus.de)

./irrecord: could not get hardware features
./irrecord: this device driver does not support the new LIRC interface
./irrecord: make sure you use a current version of the driver
./irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions)
[root at watcher daemons]# 
------------------------------------

Any ideas?

Thanks.
