Hi there!

Ok, it turned out that we still can reproduce the problem - even after the
firmware upgrade. So I collected the information you requested from two
machines:

- BVSIM3 is the one with the IPMI card.
- BVSIM5 the one without the IPMI card.

As the output from the commands you requested is rather large, I uploaded
it to the following URLs instead posting it to the list, hope that's ok:

http://www.hillier.de/bvsim5-ethtool-e.txt
http://www.hillier.de/bvsim5-lspci-t.txt
http://www.hillier.de/bvsim5-lspci-vvv-xxxx.txt
http://www.hillier.de/bvsim3-ethtool-e.txt
http://www.hillier.de/bvsim3-lspci-t.txt
http://www.hillier.de/bvsim3-lspci-vvv-xxxx.txt

All commands were run in the error case, i.e. after e1000e said "Hardware
error".

BVSIM3 shows the IPMI menu I already provided
BVSIM5 shows no IPMI menu

Thanks in advance!
