I had ivtv working well in Mandriva 2008.1 using a Hauppauge PVR-150, until I tried to install drivers, etc for a Hauppauge HVR-900 (which was not successful).

I am trying to restore my PVR-150 to working order. Here is the relevant section of dmesg

ivtv: Start initialization, version 1.2.1
ivtv0: Initializing card #0

ivtv0: Registered device video24 for encoder PCM (320 kB)
ivtv0: Registered device radio0 for encoder radio

ivtv: End initialization

I have tried the following:

rmmod ivtv
modprobe ivtv
modprobe ivtv tuner=38
depmod -a

and recompiling ivtv, but get an error messages:

The first error : linux/ivtv.h: No such file or directory is strange because the file is there!

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I am having this same exact problem. Has anyone figured it out??
