Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
my PC consists -- beside other things -- of a AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, |
| 4 |
a ASUS Crossfire Formula IV and a NVidia GeForce GT 430 by MSI (PCIe). |
| 5 |
Furthermore I am using the vanilla Linux kernel 3.0.1. . |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I browsed through the output of dmesg and found these lines: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Checking aperture... |
| 10 |
No AGP bridge found |
| 11 |
Node 0: aperture @ c4000000 size 32 MB |
| 12 |
Aperture pointing to e820 RAM. Ignoring. |
| 13 |
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole |
| 14 |
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup |
| 15 |
This costs you 64 MB of RAM |
| 16 |
Mapping aperture over 65536 KB of RAM @ c4000000 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The kernel is not configured with any AGP-related (as far as I now) |
| 19 |
feature/config. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Why does it look for an AGP-bridge??? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The dmesg says I should switch on IOMMU, which I did. But that does |
| 24 |
not impress the kernel that much since it still recommends to switch |
| 25 |
on IOMMU. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
What did I wrong here ? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I want to fix issues, which may be reported by dmesg, so: |
| 30 |
Where can I find explanations to the dmesg output? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
For your information I attached the compressed dmesg output |
| 33 |
to this mail. |
| 34 |

Thank you very much for your help in advance! |
| 36 |
Best regards |
