It looks like you are using ivtv rpms, try uninstalling them first.

If you haven't already, you also might want to look at

I don't think these lines are required anymore either.

The rpm puts the .ko (the actual module) in a different location. make
install only overwrites the module if it's in the same location, so
you've got two ivtv modules floating around, and it's using the old
one first.

I've also realised that the howto I wrote doesn't include instructions
on building the utils. You need to enter the utils directory in the
source and run a make ; make install too.

Cheers,

Ross
