Hello Yoshiharu-san!

Have you tried 3.4-unstable yet?
I had the same problem with my Asus P6T Deluxe board (also X58) and got a little further on 3.4 but finally (after some more RMRR and DMAR details displayed) the same error message.

It would be interesting to know if just the BIOSes (their DMAR maps to be more specific) on non-Intel manufactured X58 boards are broken or if there are general problems with X58 and Xen... has anyone gotten VTD/IOMMU to work on X58 yet?

Best regards,
Christian

I try pci pci passthrough with xen 3.3.1 and CentOS 5.2(64bit)
on a SUPERMICRO C7X58 board

I see the following the error in my boot log.

(XEN) [VT-D]dmar.c:372: RMRR is incorrect.

This problem is caused by this condition in dmr.c:372.

if ( rmrr->base_address >= rmrr->end_address )
{
dprintk(XENLOG_ERR VTDPREFIX, "RMRR is incorrect.\n");
return -EFAULT;
}

As an experiment, I delete the "return -EFAULT" and re-compiling Xen,
I can pass a PCI device through to Gest-OS(Windows XP) and have no problem
with using the devices on Gest-OS.

Is the above condition really correct and important ?

xm dmesg results with deleting "return -EFAULT" are following.
