Spontanous reboot with Dell PowerEdge 2950

The FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE CD went okay but now that the system is installed it just reboots about half way through startup. With ACPI disabled I managed to catch a screenshot right before the screen went blank. The only thing that appeared to be of interest was:

Code:
bce0: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(1114): MSI allocation failed! error = 
bce0: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(1144): PCI map interrupt failed
device_attach: bce0 attach returned 6

The error code is truncated because the VGA output on this crappy old LCD display chops off several characters on the right side of the screen.

There is some additional output about some PCI-PCI bridges that displays after this message and then the system reboots. There is a second NIC in the server but it shows up in the output anywhere.
 
I'd also check for a BIOS update. And maybe the latest 9.2 release candidate.
