Michael, I'm having the same problem (blue screen, distorted video) on one of my machines that uses a PVR-150. I've found that doign rmmod ivtv;modprobe ivtv by hand after the machine has booted gets the driver working for me.
The machine is an up to date Gentoo box using a 2.6.11 kernel and has run xorg-6.8 for a long time. the machine uses udev. I am suspecting that something about the way udev sets up at boot time doesn't agree with the ivtv driver but that's just a guess. You (or others) might try the rmmod/modprobe test if necessary.
