I have spent some time on this problem with my Avermedia 761 (same
chipset, the bt878). I never noticed any difference between 2.6.8
and 2.6.10, so you might have found something valuable there.
You may be able to help this problem by adjusting the PCI latency timers
for your cards. You can see the current values with 'lspci -vv', and set
them with setpci. Also you can use powertweak which allows you to set
these graphically. You probably need to _decrease_ the latency timer on
your _other_ cards so that they can be interrupted sooner by the bt878.
I've attached a patch for the bt878 drivers that I was experimenting
with. (This is not intended to go into CVS but might help you debug.) It
adds a few module parameters.
On the bt878 module, you have two new parameters:
lockup_count: sets the number of errors before lockup declared. Default
is 20; try 100 or more. It might be that you have a brief burst and if
the limit is increased you will be fine.
pktp (range 0-2); sets the fifo threshold for the bt878 before it starts
transmitting data on the PCI bus. The default is 2, which means it waits
until the fifo is half full before doing anything. I think it should be
0 (start as soon as possible), but changing it never made any difference
to me.
There is a new parameter on the dvb-bt8xx module also, but I don't think
you need it for the 771 card. It changes the behaviour of the 761 to
match the 771. I am surprised that you get FDSR errors as those are
supposed to be masked out in the RISC program.
A word of warning though: I never made my 761 card work satisfactorily
with any other I/O on the PCI bus, so I bought a card with a different
chipset to replace it.
