Hey All, We actually had the exact same problem with a board we were prototyping on. Working with the manufacturer it turned out to be a "feature" of the AMI BIOS they were using on the card (sorry I don't have the version right off hand). What happens is that the AMI BIOS does a Root Bridge reset on all the PCI-e buses upon power on. This reset can interfere with the initialization of certain types of cards that have serial eeprom that are based off an R-C time constant circuit at Power-On. Luckily for us the manufacturer was willing to patch the BIOS and resolved our issue. Perhaps you can contact Portwell with this info and see if they are willing to help.
