I found this mail list thread, and did what they had done.
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/28686?
search_string=did%20you%20put%20the%20firmware%20in%20the%20hotplug%
20firmware%20directory%3F;#28686

I did this, and now ivtv.o loads just fine. Not sure why the file size
hasn't changed for /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug ... Before, I had verified
the file was empty, initially.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# echo /sbin/hotplug >> /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -al /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 2006-07-12 15:52 /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
/sbin/hotplug

Thanks for your attention. I'll soon see how it behaves recording and 
playback.
