I had a similar issue. First, I had to make sure that my /usr/lib was a symbolic link to /usr/lib64, and that /usr was not on a separate partition since it wasn't being mounted in time at boot, which meant I had to put it in /lib/firmware (or somewhere on the root partition and point the FIRMWARE_DIR to it).
Is this happening during startup? If so and you unload the ivtv module, then reload it, does dmesg still have the error?
