Are you running mainline Linux, or NVIDIA's "Linux4Tegra"? IIRC, that
shell prompt is the L4T default, and I think kernel version 3.10
(mentioned in some of your logs) is the current L4T kernel version.

If you're running L4T, you should contact the NVIDIA L4T team for
support (linux-tegra-bugs-DDmLM1+adcrQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org).

If you can reproduce this issue on a recent mainline Linux (say 3.14,
3.15-rc* or or linux-next), we can continue this conversation here. In
this case, I'd like to see:

* Details re: which HW/board you're running on, how you're plugging in
the PCIe device, etc.

* U-Boot version/commit ID, so we can check any setup it's doing.

* Link to source tree, so we can double-check the driver code you're
running. It would be best to try a more recent source tree.

Then perhaps we'll be able to try and repro this problem, although I
don't have that NIC so that might be hard...

Hmmm. This is a completely different problem than the first one or two
in this thread, which were about an external abort while enabling the
device's bus-master access... I assume there's no longer a problem with
enabling bus-master?
