Same setup of motherboard BIOS? Maybe not, you may have an interrupt 
problem/contention. Check the settings.

I don't think you should have to manually create any devices for either card. 
I never did for 4 capture cards.

I suppose it's possible you have a marginal power supply in the machine giving 
you problems, with the load of both cards causing something to happen to make 
one of them invisible. Is it always the same card that is seen in the log? If 
it changes, I'd rule out one of the cards as the problem.

You seem to have enough gear for swapping to give you some definitive answers.
