The initialisation of the first card looks ok.

Yes. The second card does not work properly (I2C bus errors).

scan works with the first card ('-a 0'), correct?

Swap the cards.
- If the errors moves to saa7146(0), the card might be broken.
- If the errors still come from saa7146(1), try a different PCI slot.
  (I2C errors might be caused by noise on power supply lines.)
