I assume the"it" is ivtv.o . When it "wouldn't load", it (or maybe 
modprobe) reported some actual error. For this kind of troubleshooting, you 
need to report that error to us.

This may be enough of a mismatch to cause a problem. Or your kernel may 
have been compiled meaving out something that ivtv.o needs.

I *think* 2.4.22 is new enough that is had the list-handling functions 
built in (ivtv failed to compile against my 2.4.19 source because some of 
these functions were not present, but I moved up to 2.4.24). And ivtv seems 
to expect kernel debugging to be compiled in (though a 1-line change to the 
ivtv source fixed that for me).

So details still count here ... especially if you load new kernel source 
(as you say below that you plan to try) and still have problems.
