I didn't have any patch rejects when applying the 2.6.6-epia1 patch. I'm
going to try a kernel with various things compiled-in (per epiawiki) to
see if that makes any difference. I'm struggling to see what could be
wrong, but definitely think it's kernel/v4l - it's pretty definitely not
mythtv (for this).

That's pretty much the same order for me (except I load lots of other 
modules :) - agpgart, via_agp, via, via_v4l_drv, DVB-t stuff (which 
doesn't use v4l).

Out of curiosity, are you using the onboard CLE266 for hardware
acceleration (through v4l) or are you using the ivtv PVRx50? Also, are
you using ALSA audio (with 2.6 kernel)?
