A little googling suggests this is a BIOS issue. I recently upgraded my BIOS to the latest version in order to see if that would resolve a different problem (it didn't), so now I'm wondering if VT-D would be working on an older BIOS revision.

Anyone with an Asus P5E-VM DO and VT-D working care to tell me which revision their BIOS is?

I do have a P5E-VM DO running with VT-d using BIOS 0702.
Good to know it breaks when upgrading, I was tempted to give it a try recently...

I do have error messages like this:
(XEN) [VT-D]iommu.c:722: iommu_page_fault: iommu->reg = ffff828bfff56000
(XEN) [VT-D]iommu.c:691: iommu_fault_status: Fault Overflow

(XEN)     context[10] = 101_22bdb3001
(XEN)     l3 = ffff83022bdb3000
(XEN)     l3_index = 10
(XEN)     l3[10] = 0
(XEN)     l3[10] not present


But VT-d gets enabled nevertheless and actual pass-through was also working the last time I tried...



Best regards,
  Christian
