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.
