Problems with Sandpoint 8240 & i82559 & i82550

[Ole Andreas Torvmark]

During boot the board comes to this point :



IDE timing: 000003e4, resetting to PIO0 timing
hda: IBM-DTLA-307030, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0xbffff8-0xbfffff,0xbffff6 on irq 14
hda: 60036480 sectors (30739 MB) w/1916KiB Cache, CHS=59560/16/63
Partition check:
 hda: [PTBL] [3737/255/63] hda1 hda2 < hda5 >
loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
Serial driver version 5.02 (2000-08-09) with MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI

eth0: PCI device 8086:1229, 00:02:B3:60:8F:9F, IRQ 16.
  Board assembly 751767-004, Physical connectors present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
    Secondary interface chip i82555.
Self test failed, status ffffffff:
 Failure to initialize the i82557.
 Verify that the card is a bus-master capable slot.
NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0
IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP
IP: routing cache hash table of 512 buckets, 4Kbytes
TCP: Hash tables configured (established 2048 bind 2048)
Sending BOOTP requests....<4>eth0: card reports no RX buffers.
.<1>eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout!
.<1>eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout!

First off the problem seems to be that the self test fails.  And then i get
the wait_for_cm_done timeout! message. I have tried two different intel
cards the one is i82550 based and the other is older and based on the i82559
chip. We have a Linux server here running 2.4.8 and it has the exactly same
driver and it does not fail so I think it is something with the Sandpoint
Reference Platform.
