Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:32:59 -0600 From: Robert Hancock <hancockrwd@...il.com> To: linux-kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> CC: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@...radead.org> Subject: Current git fails to boot with VT-D enabled due to flood of DMAR errors On an Asus P7P55D Pro-based system (Lynnfield CPU), with Intel VT-d enabled in the BIOS, on 2.6.30.5 (the previous version I tested) I get these lines in dmesg: DMAR:Host address width 36 DMAR:DRHD (flags: 0x00000001)base: 0x00000000fed90000 DMAR:RMRR base: 0x00000000000e4000 end: 0x00000000000e7fff DMAR:RMRR base: 0x00000000bf7ec000 end: 0x00000000bf7fffff Not all IO-APIC's listed under remapping hardware In current -git, I get these lines as well, but then I get this: DRHD: handling fault status reg ffffffff DMAR:[DMA Read] Request device [ff:1f.7] fault addr fffffffffffff000 DMAR:[fault reason 255] Unknown The last two lines repeat in a continuous flood and the system doesn't boot. This happens even if I pass "intel_iommu=off" (which seems like it's already the default). Could be a kernel bug or a BIOS bug, but in the latter case we should probably deal with it better. The registers all reading FF seems like maybe the registers are disabled or something.. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
