I am running Gentoo sources 2.4.25-gentoo-r2 and ran into the same
problem. This is how my kernel is setup and IVTV works fine:
<M> I2C support
<M> I2C bit-banging interfaces
< > Philips style parallel port adapter
< > ELV adapter
< > Velleman K8000 adapter
< > NatSemi SCx200 ACCESS.bus
< > I2C PCF 8584 interfaces
<M> I2C device interface
< > I2C /proc interface (required for hardware sensors)
