Yeap, you are right, right now I will try the CONFIG_DMAR off:)

If you guys know the relation between CONFIG_DMAR and CONFIG_DMAR_DEFAULT_ON, please let me know:)

Thanks

Just say no to CONFIG_DMAR, end of problems, no need to try various knobs and find the solution next month ;)

Unless you have a reason to use it.
