RE: [Xen-devel] Vt-d not working with 3.4.1

[Ross Philipson <Ross.Philipson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The message will remain regardless of whether you set iommu_inclusive_mapping 
or not. The parameter is there to work around the underlying issue but the 
issue is not actually corrected. So the code that generates the message (which 
is detecting discrepancies between the e820 map and the DMAR RMRR values) will 
continue to report this even though you used the parameter. The real question 
is whether you are experiencing some other problems beyond the warning message 
- like a boot hang?

Thanks
Ross

Hi Pasi,

Sorry - I forgot to mention that I've tried setting the 
iommu_inclusive_mapping=1 parameter too, but unfortunate I posted the output 
from a previous attempt without this parameter.

The xm dmesg output and the DMAR parsing error remains the same. This was the 
reason posting, because I ran out of ideas...

Best regards
Ralf Bonenkamp

Well did you try iommu_inclusive_mapping=1, like it suggests ?
