It hasn't been updated in a while and there are big changes afoot with
both ivtv and DVB support in the kernel.

More likely due to changes in the ivtv drivers.

These errors are the cause of your troubles. It is highly likely the
ivtv modules are conflicting with the kernel-provided modules.

Have you tried running without the ivtv aliases for tveeprom, tuner,
tda and msp3400? Have you read the ivtv documentation for any
late-breaking information running with a 2.6.15 kernel?
