When i enable IOMMU in the bios, i start getting this in the dmesg: [51211.395291] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=00:14.4 domain=0x0012 address=0x0000000000089460 flags=0x0020] [51211.395294] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=00:14.4 domain=0x0012 address=0x0000000000089440 flags=0x0020] [51211.395298] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=00:14.4 domain=0x0012 address=0x0000000000089470 flags=0x0020] [51211.395302] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=00:14.4 domain=0x0012 address=0x0000000000089480 flags=0x0020] [51211.395309] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=00:14.4 domain=0x0012 address=0x00000000000894d0 flags=0x0020] [51211.395310] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=00:14.4 domain=0x0012 address=0x00000000000894c0 flags=0x0020] [51211.395312] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=00:14.4 domain=0x0012 address=0x00000000000894d0 flags=0x0020] [51211.395316] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=00:14.4 domain=0x0012 address=0x00000000000894e0 flags=0x0020] i run memtest86+ didn't show any problem From searching the net, people point that adding iommu=pt fix the problem, but i'm not sure if this is not just hiding the problem. The computer is new, with IOMMU disable in bios i get no problem, so i think this is not a hardware problem.

Does a newer kernel version or any info in bug 105311 help?
well. since then, i have updated the bios and updated to the latest kernel (4.7.5) and trying without the iommu=pt, everything seems to be fine now i will test during the next weeks and report back
