Hi Chris, I, like you are trying to get IVTV working on a Mandriva 2.6.17 kernel. My system is 2007 however. I have no problem loading the firmware and my system seems to find it in /lib/firmware. Where did you get the firmware? Did you extract the IVTV site tarball within the /lib/firmware directory? I am anxious to hear the result of this and if you're able to make things work. I have almost given up hope until Mandriva releases their new kernel so that I can try an IVTV release for the 2.6.22 kernel. My dmesg output looks perfect and I still can't make things work. I have a another PVR-350 in a different box and I'm about to try that one to rule out a defective card.
