What I meant was the habit of upgrading your kernel, not ivtv.

Is this automatic? Sounds scary.

And what does modinfo say on a module bundled with the kernel? (e.g.
`modinfo floppy`)

Did you also update your kernel source package (and headers)? When the
binary kernel is upgraded, the ivtv source still gets built against the
old kernel sources if you didn't upgrade that too.

Good luck.
