^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm missing a line like this:
cx25840 8-0044: loaded v4l-cx25840.fw firmware (16382 bytes)
If it is truly missing, then that is the cause of the problem, but it
looks like you grep-ped on 'ivtv' so that could also explain why it is
not in this log.
Otherwise I suggest you put this card in a Windows box and try again. I
get the feeling that the card is broken.
Regards,
Hans
