With kernel 3.2.46 this message appears 8 times and after that the system is booting up without problems.

But after this version of kernel, starting from 3.3 up to 3.12 this error is looping and the system is hanging up and it doesn't starts.

Here is error:

I will restart the system with amd_iommu_dump, but I couldn't find the option in BIOS to disable the IOMMU.

I will try also to upgrade the BIOS, but until then I don't have access to the server.

Hi,

I success to upgrade the BIOS remote with flashrom. After upgrading BIOS from 1208 to 1708 the problem was fixed.

So for others who has same problems with IOMMU try to upgrade the BIOS that may fix this problem.

Best regards.
