Looks like a messed up kernel source ;-)
I did the following (posted is some weeks ago already for AverTV 
771):

took the linux kernel version 2.6.8 from kernel.org, took patch to 
2.6.9-rc2 from there too, applied the patch, took 
patch-2.6.9-rc2-kraxel.gz from 
http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.9-rc2-2/, applied it.

[did this with -rc4, too]

Then I took the linux-dvb CVS checkout (from last weekend, 9 days 
ago), made the links to the prepared kernel source, and compiled 
the kernel as usual.

[did this with the FE_REFACTORING branch meanwhile]

You may need to create the dvb device files, see MAKEDEV-DVB.sh from 
the top dir of the linux-dvb CVS checkout.
...and, it works ;-)

... With both the AverTV771 and the Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C.

> any new hints?

Yes. Try with a stock 2.6.9 kernel, the patches from Gerd and a 
fresh FE_REFACTORING checkout.

I can tune some of the bouquets, but unfortunately not all (I am 
located in Bremen, Germany, and I suspect my card beeing bad for 
the second ARD bouquet with some of the broadcasts I like to view 
(rbb, MDR, ...)).
