To me, it sounds like you have a hardware resource conflict, like an interrupt being shared. When you boot, enter "-c" at the boot: prompt and go into the configuration visual editor by entering "v" The screen will be divided into top and bottom sections. The two sections contain all the device drivers that are available in the current kernel (GENERIC, if you haven't built your own yet). In the top section, "uncollapse" each section and look at each device, and check for the word "Conf" in inverse video, indicating an interrupt or i/o address conflict. If you find any, you'll have to find an unused interrupt to assign to one of the devices or an unused i/o address range.
