Initially when the PC was installed (and had no IOMMU) options, that cause the whole harddisk to corrupt and I had to reinstall everything. It might have been a little older kernel (2.6.23?), but I don't recall it exactly.
According to messages in syslog I tried to track down similar incidents and found the iommu articles. But the information was like trial and error.
Would you suggest that "immu=off" would be best option?
Thanks, Jari
