It's a BIOS bug -- the user's BIOS is written by idiots who obviously shipped it without any QA whatsoever. As far as I can tell, 2.6.30 aborted early because of a _different_ BIOS bug, but now we cope with that particular bug and we fall over the next bug. Or just come across them in a different order. The IOMMU on this board can _never_ have worked. Just disable it. Or use a board with open source firmware available, and this kind of crap won't happen. (At least if it does, you'll be able to fix it). -- dwmw2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
