And I had severe issues with a client connected to that port. But could a port issue really crash the system? Wouldn't it be more likely that it is the bus?

The error message originates from the pcieb (PCI-E bus controller):

161 fffffffff8077000   4440 228   1  pcieb (PCIe bridge/switch driver)

and yes it's likely the bus, as that message/panic happens after a bus scan.  I indicated e1000g3 so you could maybe see if the slot it was in was bad.

That's what I'd do.

The nic is on a PCI-X bus, not a PCIe bus. All nic ports on the system are on that PCI-X nic. No nic on PCIe. Does that mean that the e1000g3 had nothing to do with the problem?
And that the problem must be on a PCIe bus/device?

If so, I can rule out the nic. And concentrate on other devices/buses.

The only adapters that are in PCIe slot/buses are the SAS controller and the graphics adapter. Or perhaps the integrated SATA controller as well is on a PCIe bus...

I actually got two more of these T5500, so I could easily switch to another one, if I needed that.
