modprobe ivtv will return no output data. As long as it didn't return an error it's fine. You will know that the module is loaded if you run lsmod. This will display ivtv in the list. Insmod is a different type of modprobe, ignore it now, if modprobe works that's all you need to use. Check dmesg now after doing a modprobe ivtv (you only need to do it once every time you boot (you can automate this, you'll have to good for "mandrake module automatically load boot" to find out how). Hopefully dmesg will say it found a device and that /dev/video0 will have been created and xawtv should be able to start.
