There are already some people that are driving the ivtv rpm production ;)
Have a look at http://ATrpms.net/name/ivtv-experimental/. There are
packages cut from several releases fulfilling different needs. For PVR
250 (i.e. no decoder) it becomes easier.

You can use kernel 2.6.7-1.456_4.rhfc2.at and matching 4363 drivers.
(2.6.7-1.456_4.rhfc2.at is 8kstacks, so it is in particular ivtv safe)
