Ah yes. That was the problem. I use the ivtv module for my hauppauge
PVR-150 video capture card. I had compiled the modules myself and
everything worked OK. I guess that maybe somewhere in that
dist-upgrade there was a new kernel or something installed and the old
driver no longer worked. I did a recompile, make && make install,
depmod -a, and modprobe ivtv and now everything is working OK.

Maybe I should hold off on upgrading again until after dapper is
official in June.
