Mark, Coming from Gentoo-land, I config all my kernel's via 'make menuconfig' and build all my kernels from source.
Just to let you know, I am not too familiar with installing/building kernels under Fedora. But yes, I would recommend building your 2.6.16 kernel from source and it really does not matter which one you boot from when you do this. If you want to make life a little simpler, you can copy the old '.config' from the old kernel src dir you boot from into the new kernel source dir and do a 'make oldconfig'. This will ask you questions on the command-line about all new additions in the new kernel to help you bring the '.config' up-to-date. Then simply go back in with 'make menuconfig' and set the kernel drivers/modules you need. Then do whatever you need to install the kernel and modules. In my case with Gentoo, I simply do 'make && make modules_install && make install' and its all done for me. As far as the ivtv drivers, I believe building with 'make clean && make && make install' should clean out all the old build files and give you a clean ivtv driver installation.
