By the way, here's what the start of a successful ivtv load in dom0 looks like:

ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv: version 0.2.0 (rc3j) loading
ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.11.10-xen0 PENTIUM4 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3
ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info
ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when
ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist.
ivtv: Autodetected WinTV PVR 250 card
ivtv: Found an iTVC15 based chip
PCI: Obtained IRQ 22 for device 0000:02:01.0
ivtv: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32)
ivtv: XXX PCI device: 0x2570 vendor: 0x8086
ivtv: i2c attach [client=tveeprom,ok]

And it goes on and on from there.

I'm pretty sure it's crashing on that "XXX PCI device" line, which is
line 676 in driver/ivtv-driver.c. But since I'm not a kernel coder, I
have no real clue why. My best guess would be that something bad is
happening with that pci_find_slot call. The if statement that line 676
is a part of is probably to implement some workarounds if you have a
VIA chipset motherboard - the ivtv cards bring out the bugginess in
some of the older VIA motherboards, leading to instability. I'm using
an Intel motherboard though.
