I saw that on my Avermedia DVB-T 761 card, which uses the same chipset (BT878). The messages are being logged so fast that they get corrupted or the kernel buffer overflows or something. > Is there a solution to this, other than downgrading to my old dual p2 > system? heh. Do you get any FBUS errors in addition to the FDSR errors? For me, FBUS was the main problem. It means that the buffers in the BT878 overflowed, because the PCI bus is too busy doing other things. See what else you have on the same PCI bus (using lspci). In my case the on-board SATA controller was on the same PCI bus as the slots, so when I did much access to a SATA disk I got FBUS errors. There was no solution except to replace the card with one that used a better chipset. The Lite card is cheaper than the FusionHDTV non-Lite because the chipset is crap for digital TV.
