Was this in PAL land? I've hit the same problem, and after installing
video4linux-kmdl and modprobe:ing saa7127, I get a very distorted image -
even the test image of saa7127 is wrong (b/w, with two horizontal lines and
the occasional pink flicker). This is on PAL S-Video BTW.

I still have this in my modprobe.conf:
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb

Should I add a dependency to saa7127 there somehow?

Replying to myself to say that this worked, and since I had to look up how
to do it, maybe I can spare someone the trouble:

Just edit /etc/modprobe.conf and insert saa7127 in the line mentioned above,
like this:
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe saa7127; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv;
/sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb

Reboot and enjoy. :)
