Your IVTV INIT message block is a bit brief. Please use dmesg, and post the *full* IVTV output. Post *everything* between START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV. Hell, for clarity, post those start/end labels too.
Don't use YaST to configure a PVR-250. From what I researched, YaST is expecting the capture card to output raw frames. The PVR-250 instead spits out an MPEG2 stream, and YaST doesn't recognize it. I would not recommend using YaST at all with the PVR250. The recent version of the IVTV driver will basically auto-configure itself, so there is very little, if any, setting up you have to do. Leaving the card unconfigured in YaST works fine for me. I have a mythbox (frontend/backend) running openSUSE 10.3 with a PVR-250. I am running the same stock openSUSE kernel, and using the IVTV and MythTV packages and firmware from packman RPMs. Aside from some light hacking to get IR working, setup was almost completely turnkey. I'm not sure what all that tweaking of udev, modprobe.conf, and such was for. None of that was necessary for me to get the PVR-250 working. If you followed a setup guide, a link to it would be much appreciated. Running "modprobe ivtv" will only spit out something if it fails. Seeing no output is what you want If you haven't already, remove the IVTV module by using "modprobe -r ivtv" (without quotes). Then run "depmod -a" to update the module dependencies. Finally reinsert the IVTV module "modprobe ivtv" and try again.
