Well that explains it. When the PCI subsystem has to disable the BARs of 
the GPU we can't access it any more.

The only thing we could do is to make sure that the driver at least 
fails gracefully.

Do you still have network access to the box when amdgpu fails to load 
and could grab whatevery is in dmesg?

Thanks,
Christian.
