OK. I installed the 2.6.17-gentoo-r2 kernel and remerged ivtv, then
rebooted. It still doesn't work. Here's the info:
It does look better though. The removal messages are gone.
I assume you can still cat the video to a file and watch it in
mplayer, correct? So ivtv is working and the issue is Myth.

lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages
What are the messages above telling us? I know Myth streams the live
TV video to a specific directory and then plays back from that
directory. Is that what it's talkign about here? Does that directory
exist on your machine or has it gotten trashed somehow? Do you
possibly have stale files left over in that directory that are getting
in the way of a new file getting created? I beleive it should be empty
when TV is not playing. I have had times where I ran out of disk space
because stuff got stranded there.
