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

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?
