Is this a laptop or desktop?

The chip isn't activated.
I suspect that it's a PCI power management issue == the chip is likely in
ACPI D3 state.  This typically occurs when the machine is warm booted from
Windows. 

You can verify this with the pci-config program from
  http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html

A solution is to use the updated driver and pci-scan support.  The
pci-scan code configures the PCI power management registers.
