I remember reports of riser cards that apparently changed the timing on the PCI bus so they were only marginally compliant with the spec, or maybe not even that anymore. If you try to remove the controller, please also remove the riser card. It could well be that it's causing problems, especially if it's on the same PCI bus as the onboard re(4) interfaces. There are various kinds of riser cards (passive, active, with fixed IRQs, or with jumpers, and so on). For a related discussion see this one, for example: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/24/39 Typing "pci riser card jumper" in Google will give you many more pages with interesting (or frightening) stuff to read.
