That is a nasty bug that you are hitting. You shouldn't get NULL
dereferences at any time. I'd either file this at the kernel's bugzilla or
try to get it attention some other way. I'm not a systems programmer so I
can't really help with a code fix.

Have you tried  removing the 1250? Or moving the 1800 to a different slot?
Or even manually placing the 1250 and 1800 on different IRQs via the BIOS?
I'm not sure if any of this will work, but it might be worth a try.

Also, what does your relevant kernel config look like? I have the 1800 and
mine is:

Not all of these are needed, but my 1800 works perfectly with all these, so
hopefully it is something you can work off of. This config is from kernel
2.6.27.1.

Okay, I noticed something else about this.  With only the 1250 install, I
still show a conflict, but it's with nvidia.  Which I am guessing is my
graphics module.

That is a good point. If you do report a bug make sure you are running the
open source nv driver and not the proprietary nvidia driver. I am running
the proprietary driver without issues, but trying the nv driver is another
thing for you to try.

The nv drvier I don't believe is going to work for me at all.   I use
Composite video out from my MB.
