I tried to make the machine only run apt-get update every 10m for 24h.

With pcie_aspm=off, I didn't get any corrected error
Without it I got 39 corrected errors

So that seems very relevant :)

Is there more I can provide to investigate if that can somehow be fixed
in the driver? I guess I can safely use the system with pcie_aspm=off?
(the energy saving seems neglectible)
