Hi Andrew,

Could you do us a favor by taking a look at chipset options (or something similar)? The IOMMU option might be hidden under that menu. Virtualization is for enabling CPU's SVM feature. So it is unrelated.

Thanks,

If the ACPI table is missing, you can try to look for the
corresponding PCI device: it should have a vendor/device-id of
1002:5a23, lspci lists it as:
00:00.2 Generic system peripheral [0806]: ATI Technologies Inc Device
5a23 If anyone has a board with the PCI device but a missing ACPI
table, please tell us.

We are already trying to improve the situation, you could help us by reporting the IOMMU support status on 890FX boards. Simply check for
the ACPI table:
# xm dmesg | grep IVRS    or
$ ls /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/IVRS
and by checking for the PCI device:
$ /sbin/lspci -d 1002:5a23

I have a Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 motherboard.  I have opened a support
ticket with Gigabyte but have not yet received any reply.  The
virtualization option in the BIOS is turned on, there do not appear to
be any other relevant options.
$ lspci -d 1002:5a23
$ ls /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/
APIC  DSDT  dynamic  FACP  FACS  HPET  MATS  MCFG  SSDT  TAMG

If there is any response from Gigabyte to AMD can it be published on
the list please?

Thanks
