Hi!

I now got a Asus Crosshair IV mainboard and here are the outputs after I enabled the IOMMU option in the bios:

xen-01:~# ls /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/
APIC  DSDT  dynamic  FACP  FACS  HPET  IVRS  MCFG  OEMB  SRAT  SSDT
xen-01:~# dmesg |grep -i iommu
[    1.691432] AMD-Vi: Enabling IOMMU at 0000:00:00.2 cap 0x40
xen-01:~# lspci -d 1002:5a23
00:00.2 Generic system peripheral [0806]: ATI Technologies Inc Device 5a23
xen-01:~#

So here is the IOMMU of the 890FX. Will go further for testing now..

Great news, thanks for pursuing that.

For the other boards:
We have identified an issue and are working on a solution. Stay tuned.

Also please note that sometimes board vendors also call the AMD64 GART an IOMMU, so if you have correspondence with them, make sure you are talking about the same thing.

Regards,
Andre.
