Uh, weird, ivtv's install doesn't touch any of the kernel's original
files, it only (for 2.4) installs in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ivtv/

(Note that this is a different location than 0.4.0 uses, since we now
allow the kernel's build system to take over on as much as possible.

These two are expected (by me, anyway), as they don't exist in 2.4
kernels.  (This will be fixed.)

This should work if you do it exactly and nothing else.  You didn't
install from there as well, did you?  (I'm assuming that .config file is
correct.)
