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.

When the self test fails on an i8255x device it indicates a
problem with inbound transations to system memory.  Obviously
outbound transactions are working since it's reading the MAC
address from the EEPROM.

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.

You neglected to give us basic information on what kernel tree
you are running.  We need that in order to have a chance to
help you.
