Hi,

I hate to sound too awful on this but if you look in
the logged messages under "FC2" you will get your
answer. It seems that FC2 and ivtv do not play well
together. Recompile a kernel as suggested. There are
at least two very detailed methods described (copy and
paste). Check back if that does not work, however it
is very likely that you won't need to check back.
