It's a driver bug, that I remember fixing.  Your best bet would be to go 
back to 0.7.68 or cvs and figure out where the NULL dereference is 
happening (it must be in init_plx9080(), init_stc_registers(), or 
handle_interrupt()).  By the way, the driver works fine for me with a 
pci-das6025 on x86.  It might also be helpful to uncomment the #define 
PCIDAS64_DEBUG line near the top of the driver, and also you should send 
your oops message through ksymoops if you can.
