I should clarify. Although, maybe you've already caught on. I guess the X server must be doing something. Because if the ivtv_fb isn't loaded, I get an error saying it can't start X when Linux is trying to start. On the other hand, if I just change my xorg.conf file and CTRL-ALT-BKSPACE, everything goes dead. So maybe it IS crashing. It's largely the same when I use the initrd thing. But I'm shying away from that for the moment. When I did that, something went wrong and I lost sound from the captures. So, anyhow...
I haven't looked through the log. Because I'm too ignorant. The only thing that seemed interesting was: (WW) ivtvdev: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:8:0) found (WW) ivtvdev: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:10:0) found (EE) No devices detected. So maybe my xorg.conf is has the BusID wrong. I'll play with that and see what happens.
