ASUS Pundit-R, which uses ATI IXP200 chipset.  Some people were saying
change PCI slots may help in this situation.  But for Punidt-R, this
is really not an option, due to the physical limitations.  The two
cards I have (PVR-500 and pcHDTV-3000) can only be fit into the box in
one configuration.

I've been trying various bios config and kernel parameters, such as
enabling/disabling io-apic , enabling pci=routeirq, etc.  No help.
