shortly: I retested w/ qemu 2.1.0 and Linux 3.17.0 - no change in behaviour.

It is strange, that there is no problem with the pci-card, but the pcie card hangs the machine! > Have you tested whether the problem still occurs on 3.16 + Same problem with 3.17.0 > newer QEMU?

The machine really is completely dead: it even pings any more.
