I am having the same problem though my architecture is a little
different.
I am running red hat 5 ES and compiled xen 3.3 from source ...
Processor is AMD DUAL OPTERON 2218
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 15
model : 65
model name : Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2218
SUN ULTRA 40 M2
I have IOMMU enabled in BIOS, but i always get io
virtualization
disabled.
Am i missing anything ? Does it AMD IOMMU supported ?
I am gonna try xen unstable and see if it works.
Did you add the line iommu=1 in the grub's menu on the kernel
line?
Yeah. Still can not get it work.
I see. Well, for now, the first thing is to make sure that your
machine supports Vt-d. Once you made sure that, then perhaps you could
try xen unstable. I too had some problems with Xen 3.3.0 earlier.

Is VTd available on AMD machines ? I have IOMMU enabled in BIOS , but i
dont know it that is the same thing.
