Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] VT-D On An Asus P5E-VM DO Motherboard Not Working, Xen 3.4.1
Really? I found following lines in your messages. The base address of RMRR is larger than the end address. It's an obvious error of your BIOS. Thus VT-d is disabled. 
 
(XEN) [VT-D]dmar.c:498: found ACPI_DMAR_RMRR
(XEN) [VT-D]dmar.c:388: RMRR error: base_addr d0000000 end_address cfffffff
(XEN) Failed to parse ACPI DMAR.  Disabling VT-d.

Hi Mike,
 
Obviously your BIOS is broken. Pls contact your vendor for help.

Weidong

"Dear Valued Customer,
It seems that you are using the Linux system.P5E-VM DO don't Claim support for Linux.

What's odd is that another user with the same motherboard and the same BIOS revision (0702) is having complete success with VT-D. I'm hoping for some insight into that little abnormality.

Mike
