Hmm, what's odd there is that you don't seem to be even detecting any of 
the endpoints there. Notably, the switch (which both the slots and the 
on-board endpoints are behind) *does* support ACS even though the Root 
Complex doesn't, so I wonder if it's getting enabled there and causing 
it to forward TLPs with ACS bits set which the RC doesn't like?

I'm far from a PCI expert, but I might try running this patch on my 
board to see if anything else stands out.

Robin.
