1 Hi,
2
3 Anybody using an ASUS M2A-VM mobo with a 2.6.27 kernel? When I
4 attempt to boot a 2.6.27 kernel, I see the "Loading modules" message
5 (and messages for loaded modules) and then the boot process hangs.
6 With a 2.6.25 kernel, after all the module messages boot displays
7 "Activating mdev". I've never seen this message with the 2.6.27
8 kernel. For that matter, I tried 2.6.26 a while back and had the same
9 problem.
10
11 Anybody know about this problem or what might cause it?
12
13 On a related note, a few weeks back I started seeing kernel messages
14 like:
15
16 PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space for 8192 bytes at device 0000:00:14.1
17 PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space for 1536 bytes at device 0000:02:00.0
18
19 The 2.6.25 kernel ran fine for several months before these started
20 appearing, so I suspect a hardware issue. However, when running
21 2.6.27's "make xconfig" I noticed there's an AMD_IOMMU option. I'd
22 very much like to see if it relates to the messages above.
23
24 If you've got an M2A-VM running, perhaps you could share your .config
25 with me???

27 Regards,
