Here's the output of "lspci -vv" in the error case (for the eth devices):

------- SNIP -----------
Retried this several times in the error and normal case. The only things
which change are three values for device 06:00.0:
- Control "DisINTx-" changes to "DisINTx+" if the card is correctly
initialized
- Interrupt changes from IRQ 18 to IRQ 4345 if card is correctly initialized
- Message Signalled Interrupts change from "Enable-" to "Enable+"
In addition, the "Data" field from "Message Signalled Interrupts" seems to
change w/o any clear pattern.
For 06:00.1, everything seems to be the same in the error as well as in the
normal case.
Does this tell you anything valuable?
