This may be unrelated but I received the same null pointer dereference message
with my kernel (2.6.9). I found that if I commented out the calls to
pci_bus->device and pci_bus->vendor in ivtv-driver.c (at least from the 0.3.1t
version that I use) I no longer got the null dereference. These functions are
used just to print a status message so leaving them out has no net effect on
ivtv as a whole. So here is how I did it inside ivtv-driver.c:
} else
/*
IVTV_KERN_INFO("XXX PCI device: 0x%04x vendor:
0x%04x\n",
pci_bus->device, pci_bus->vendor);
*/
