Thank you for the advice Nick. As a recap, here is the problem I'm having:

So if any one of those directories are correct, there should be a link to
the firmware, which has the correct byte count. What am I doing wrong, or
what is wrong with depmod, or what is wrong with the driver loading process?
Thanks again for any comments on this.
Regards,
Justin

Check where your firmware files are. The output is reporting it cannot find
the firmware files for the card to initialize it. Can you post your
/lib/firmware ls results? It may also be somewhere deep in the lib tree, I
think /lib/modules/hotplug/firmware or something to that effect.
Cheers

kernel mythtv 0.20.1
Please help! I've been referring to MythTVology website. Here is my spec:
PIII system running FC6. Everything was up to date before I started
installing. Added a PVR 350 card. Followed the tutorial to the rule and
got Mythtv to show television for about 5 minutes. I started fiddling
with the keyboard and started to make it record programs accidentally.
The mythbackend locked up for some reason, so I started mythbackend back
up. By the mythbackend output verbiage, i saw that it was trying to
record after it had been started again. I logged back in to mythfrontend
to watch TV, but got the message that the TV tuner was in use because a
program was being recorded. I two clips and deleted them. But, still not
able to watch TV. Same message. Using advice from a forum, I
unloaded/reloaded the ivtv drivers as follows:
yum remove ivtv-firmware
yum remove ivtv-kmdl-$KVER
I then reinstalled them as follows:
yum -y install ivtv-firmware
yum -y install ivtv-kmdl-$KVER
then attempted to run these programs to detect the card:
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ivtv
but when I run ll /dev/video? I get a discouraging message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jamburn]# ll /dev/video?
ls: /dev/video?: No such file or directory
I've since rebooted several times to let the startup scripts load things
in order, but /dev/video0 still doesn't exist. Next, I captured some
error data from the /var/log/messages using the script on mythtvology.
here it is:

I would love it if someone could lend me a hand here, because this is
certainly frustrating to be stuck here. People thanks in advance for
supporting your fellow linux enthusiast.
