[mythtv-users] PVR-250 not detected (defaults to 150)

I've been working on a fresh install following Jarod's guide.  The system detected my PVR-250 when I first installed the ivtv drivers, but after subsequently reboots, ivtv doesn't recognize my card and defaults to a PVR-150.  There are also error messages stating "ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x44 not found!".

If tried to comment out the tveeprom and msp3400 lines in /etc/modprobe.conf, but that only introduced additional errors.  If I physically remove the pvr-250, reboot, power down, install the card then boot again, then the card is recognized correctly.  But as soon as a reboot it reverts to the PVR-150.

Any suggestion on where I'm going wrong?
