Please provide the dmesg output relevant to ivtv intialization.

You may also want to add these to /etc/modprobe.conf

	# ivtv warning (1) + info (2) + ioctl (8) + file (16) + i2c (512)
	options ivtv debug=539
	options cx25840 debug=1
	options tuner-simple debug=7
	options tuner debug=7

so that lots of debugging is turned on for these modules when they are
loaded.

I've got to find the time to upgrade one of my systems to a modern
version of Fedora with a .31 or .30 kernel to check things myself.  I
might be able to do that this coming weekend.
