I have kernel-3.0.4 and the daily media tree from 2011-10-13.

crash

It always crashes when I access the hardware but the place it crashes is random.

It could be the hardware but it is brand new.

Maybe you would want to pass those crash logs for debugging purposes :)

It's possible for developers to track from them where the crash occurs in driver.

What crash logs?
The kernel locks up, is there a log somewhere?

It occurred to me to try the mythbuntu livedvd. :-)

That didn't work so I tried my other PCIe slot (I had to disconnect stuff to make it fit :-() and it works now.

System log under /var/log/messages
or command dmesg

Also, if you keep your terminal window open crash should pop-up by itself so called "kernel oops". For example see first post in the following link:

There was no kernel oops, everything just froze.
dmesg seems to clear when I reboot.

Yes, log is regenerated with reboot.

If everything just froze those pci slot swap seems like a good solution :) It sounds to me like some hardware problem (maybe dust preventing a good contact in slot).
