Hi Larry.

I don't think this was neccessary because you are using a PVR-500. 
You are right in that it's only for PVR-350 users who are using
TV-OUT.  The purpose is to get IVTV loaded soon enough that you can
see the machine boot up ( rhgb, log in, etc ).  It's not a
requirement.  In fact, I don't use it anymore.  It's just nice to
have. ( I'll probably wind up putting it back in to mine ).

It's been a while, but do you need the following lines in modprobe.conf?
  install tveeprom /sbin/modprobe tveeprom
  install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
  install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c

I'm not using ivtv_4.0 yet so I don't know if this was changed.
