Chris, I just had the same problem with my PVR-350 that I just bought. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the ivtv packaging (?), but you are clearly not loading a necessary kernel module "tveeprom", as evidenced by your log file.
I and others were able to fix this by using the "tveeprom-ivtv" module. My startup script does the following: /sbin/modprobe tveeprom-ivtv /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb /sbin/modprobe ivtv Then all you should have to do is make sure the tveeprom-ivtv module is located in your /lib/modules directory. On FC3 it should be.... /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/updates/drivers/media/video/tveeprom- ivtv.ko Good luck!
