And, can you comment the invocation of clear_fault_bits() in init_vtd_hw() like 
above and see if the host can boot fine?

Hi Tom,
Can you please apply the above patch and send us the entire log?  
(I don't have the same host, so I can't try it myself.)

Thanks,

Subject: [Xen-devel] Problem: Xen 3.4 fails to boot on Dell e6400, with iommu=1


Hi,

I am trying to use xen 3.4 on a Dell E6400 machine. But, when i try to boot xen 
with a 'iommu=1' parameter in the boot line, Xen fails to boot. I have also 
tried to boot with and without the 'iommu_inclusive_mapping' boot option, but 
it didn't seem to help at all.

Does anyone knows how to solve this issue?
