Try moving the device into a different slot.
You may be trying it in a non-ARI slot in the 710; that is a problem
in RHEL6 (needing to realloc bus &/or mem-space).
A non-ARI slot will want to use one bus number per VF.... which will
be problematic.
I know I've seen ixgbe's (& their vfs's) working on a dell 710;
but they may also be one of those systems that has a slot off the ich10
with no ARI support.
