First let me say thank you for creating that document on RH9 and the
PVR. That document got me through myth 0.10 flawlessly.  Second of
all thank you for the time you took to give me some suggestions.

1) I did change the last line in the /etc/modules.conf to:
add below ivtv i2c-core i2c-algo-bit msp3400 saa7115 tuner

That did not seem to work for me. It kicks the same error:

/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/drivers/media/video/ivtv.o: init_module: No
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from
dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/drivers/media/video/ivtv.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/drivers/media/video/ivtv.o failed
Segmentation fault


2) when I run "rpm -q ivtv" it says that the ivtv package is not
installed.

I doubled checked the lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/media/video
directory and ivtv.o is still in there.  I opened up synaptic and
double checked and it said I did have a version of ivtv installed.

Some side notes on this, I am using the 2.4.20-20.9 kernel not the
2.4.20-8.rh9.at  kernel that is suggested in your instructions.

I used apt-get and synaptic to install the following after the
default install:
1) apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
2) apt-get install qt-MySQL
3) kernel#2.4.20-20.9 ( package name in synaptic )
4) ivtv-kmdl-2.4.20-20.p ( package name in synaptic )
