Okay.

Ah, one more thing I think you may have to do for ivtv:

	# ln -s linux-2.4 /usr/src/linux

Red Hat uses linux-2.4 by default instead of just linux. That command 
will make a link of "linux" pointing to "linux-2.4" which is another 
link pointing to your actual kernel source.

I forget what the big difference is between the two. It used to be that 
you did need to install the .src.rpm file, but that changed w/Red Hat 
some time back. I think basically, the .src.rpm file is what you would 
install to build your own kernel rpm (with rpmbuild --rebuild 
kernel-2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at.src.rpm or rpmbuild -ba kernel.spec), but it 
doesn't install the entire source tree into /usr/src/linux-2.4/, kernel 
configs, etc., which is what the kernel-source package now does. I 
don't recall the last time I actually had to install the .src.rpm file, 
so my memory is kinda hazy...

You might give the rpms another go also. Some stuff added to the guide 
should clear up some of the problems people have been having.
