Me too.

I don't remember what message it was but it's somthing like
a message with two irq numbers for the device on second loading
and then it failed to allocate interrupt handler.

mskc0: <Marvell Yukon 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xXXXX-0xYYYY mem
 0xXXXXXXXX-0xYYYYYYYY irq 19, 256 at device X.Y on pciX
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^
