I'm 200% sure:
1. tar jxvf linux-2.5.69.tar.bz2 2. zcat 2.5.69-mm6.gz | patch -p1 3. make menuconfig
There is something in the Yamaha DS-XG PCI driver (I think the problem lies in alsa_card_ymfpci_init()) that is somewhat corrupting the PCI ID's table, or something else, that's causing the pci_bus_match() function to oops.
I'm no kernel expert, so I've been unable to guess much more than this.
