I booted with my old kernel and copied the ivtv stuff from dmesg into a
file.  Here it is:

michael@camille ~ $ cat ivtv-2.6.14-r5

Then I booted with the new kernel and did the same thing.  Here it is:

As you can see, there was a failure to load module saa7115 and several
warnings about client addresses not being found, among other things.  I
have no idea why these things are happening or how to fix them...

camille ~ # ivtv-tune -f xxx.xx
/dev/video0: 0.000 MHz  (Signal Detected)

camille ~ # ls -lh test.mpg

Nothing.  What should I do now?
