kernel modules for 2.6.16-1.2122 i686

all were installed through the yum gui in FC5
I had been following jarod wilson's Fedora Mythtv setup guide attempting to set up IVTV tv-out. I couldn't find the ivtv development package that he mentions, and had assumed that the ivtv_xdriver had replaced those. Everything was working fine with the video capture, i was getting video and sound. I added the vga=791 to my grub.conf, and turned on the PVR-350 line in my modprobe.conf:
'install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb'
i had the framebuffer working on /dev/fb1, and both tests jarod mentions were working. I got a test pattern to show up on my TV, and had success piping the video in and directly back out through the card. I had also replaced the ivtv tveeprom module with the kernel-supplied one, and had no issues.
Finally, I had updated my xorg.conf to include the PVR-350 device, but instead of "ivtvdev", i put "ivtv_xdriver", because I didn't have the ivtvdev module.
I followed jarod's instructions and hit control-alt-backspace to kill off the xdriver, but nothing showed up on the tv screen. Eventually, I shut down the PC with a Ctl-Alt-Del, and rebooted, but now udev wouldn't load. After booting into rescue mode, I returned xorg.conf to it's original state, still no udev on boot. Finally, I went into modprobe.conf and commented out the line that loads the framebuffer, and that allows udev to load on boot. Unfortunately, since it won't boot (after udev times out -assumedly trying to detect the framebuffer-, the system will get a bit further in the boot process before it grinds to a halt), I don't have the standard ivtv load log, so i can't tell you what I see. On a successful boot with the framebuffer line commented out, the ivtv capture won't load. error message when I type modprobe ivtv is:
WARNING: Error inserting tveeprom (/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5/updates/drivers/media/video/tveeprom.ko): Operation not permitted
FATAL: Error inserting ivtv (/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5/updates/media/video/ivtv.ko ): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg).
dmesg says:
- signature keyid: 009227b3bcb5ebae ver=3
ivtv: Unknown symbol tveeprom_read
ivtv: Unknown symbol tveeprom_hauppage_analog
What did Control-Alt-Backspace do? Is there any way that I can get the system back to the previous state without wiping the root partition and starting from the beginning?
Thanks
