Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Vt-d not working with 3.4.1
Dear Teo,

I tried all combinations
- kernel /xen.gz iommu=1
- kernel /xen.gz iommu_inclusive_mapping=1
- kernel /xen.gz iommu=1 iommu_inclusive_mapping=1

And got the same result at xm dmesg on my mobo ;-)

I noticed that there is another switch mentioned named 'vtd=1' in some 
postings. The wiki at http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo does not 
mention any of those switches. Hopefully I can spare time in the next days to 
sort this switches out and prepare some sort of beginners guide to this topic...

Regards,
Ralf

Hi,

Is it not sufficient to parse iommu=1 only?

kernel /xen.gz iommu=1

We should also add iommu_inclusive_mapping=1?

So it becomes

kernel /xen.gz iommu=1 iommu_inclusive_mapping=1

Well did you try iommu_inclusive_mapping=1, like it suggests ?
