Thanks.  The above install procedure avoids the problem with "apt-get 
dist-upgrade" loading incompatible versions of ivtv and ivtv kernel modules.

# apt-get install kernel-module-ivtv-`uname -r`

Checking the versions of the installed packages shows that the correct 
versions are loaded:
# rpm -qa ivtv*
ivtv-0.1.10-44_pre2_ck107u.rhfc1.at
# rpm -qa kernel-module-ivtv*
kernel-module-ivtv-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52.rhfc1.at-0.1.10-44_pre2_ck107u.rhfc1.at

Unfortunately, this latest version of ivtv does not work -- get a blank 
screen watching live tv and lirc is dead.  Checking ivtv status:
# /sbin/modprobe ivtv

Perhaps this is a bug in the latest version.  Fortunately, it was 
possible to revert back to the old version and get the system to work:
# apt-get remove ivtv
...
Done.

# apt-get remove kernel-module-ivtv-`uname -r`
...
Done.

# rpm -ivh 
kernel-module-ivtv-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52.rhfc1.at-0.1.9-27.rhfc1.at.i686.rpm 

...

# rpm -ivh ivtv-0.1.9-27.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm
...

After which, the system resumed working.

Thanks,

Narinder
