 Hi.

 I got a asus SABERTOOTH 990FX, reading about vt-d, I read the MoBo
that support IOMMU and there was chip 990FX, them I pick this MoBo,
the BIOS that came with the board was 0402 05/11.

 I follow the xen wiki, I'm running Xen 4.1.1 from Gitco on Centos 5.7
x64, by default the MoBo have the IOMMU disable, I enable the feature
IOMMU = 64MB, save the bios settings, restart, turn off the machine,
unplug the power cable for a couple of seconds, connect the cable,
start the machine and...

1;  kernel /xen.gz-4.1.1 dom0_max_vcpus=1 dom0_vcpus_pin dom0_mem=1024MB iommu=1

(XEN) AMD-Vi: IOMMU not found!
(XEN) I/O virtualisation disabled

2; The wiki say that by default xen 4+ have iommu enable, them I
remove the iommu=1 option in the kernel line, save, restart and:

(XEN) AMD-Vi: IOMMU not found!
(XEN) I/O virtualisation disabled

I still have other BIOS is a beta, I will give a try and see what
happend, is someone have tip about please let me know I will
appreciated.

Last thing, before purchase this MoBo I ask by chat to the technical
support of asus and the guy say that every MoBo from 2010+ have this
feature, 3 years  back don't, them he point me a list of MoBo and was
this one I got, my near store have it and pay for it.

This is the dmesg output just for the record:
