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. > depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in > /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/kernel/ivtv/msp3400.o > depmod: kthread_stop > depmod: kthread_should_stop These two are expected (by me, anyway), as they don't exist in 2.4 kernels.

You didn't install from there as well, did you?
