Then once you are up, rebuild a kernel without the ie0 driver. The particular cards serviced by the ie0 driver have a habit of not being detectable except through a destructive probe. Said probe could be causing your card to be reprogrammed. If it isn't the ie0 driver, make sure you disable all other unused drivers and try again. This should surely fix the problem. Then once you are up, rebuild a kernel without any drivers for hardware not in your machine.
