    I just checked the system I had that problem on. It had the following
    ethernet controller:

    00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI
    Fast Ethernet (rev 91)

    It was a SIS chip set but not the one you have. Once I disabled the
    plug and play on that mother board it worked. I think the plug and play
    option was trying to allocate the interrupt and was fighting the OS
    which was trying to do the same thing.

    Good luck.
