Check the SRD_PFC0/1 registers to ensure you have the right mode 
selected.  Also the corresponding disabling of the TRACE and GPIO lines 
must be done correctly.  Its easy to mess this up.

Next double check your RGMII bridge settings.  They are pretty easy to 
decode and verify.

Check that you are NOT running in 440gp compatibility mode.  Otherwise 
you will not get the 3rd UIC controller (doesn't seem to be a problem 
for you).

Finally, if its your own hardware, check the timing alignment of TXCLK 
and TXData lines out of the 440gx.  The gigabit spec requires a 2ns 
delay here (but not on the receive path).  You either need some 12-16" 
of tracking, or a digital delay circuit.  Or perhaps your PHY has such a 
circuit built-in but needs to be activated/configured.
