0.1.9 works with *some* 2.6 kernels. It doesn't work at all with the latest 
Fedora Core variants, because of decisions the Red Hat kernel engineers have 
made, which disallow some function calls necessary for older ivtv versions 
(including ck100z, thus the need for patches to make it work on FC2's 
2.6.8-1.521 kernel).
