Hi,

my PC consists -- beside other things -- of a AMD Phenom II X6 1090T,
a ASUS Crossfire Formula IV and a NVidia GeForce GT 430 by MSI (PCIe).
Furthermore I am using the vanilla Linux kernel 3.0.1. .

I browsed through the output of dmesg and found these lines:

    Checking aperture...
    No AGP bridge found
    Node 0: aperture @ c4000000 size 32 MB
    Aperture pointing to e820 RAM. Ignoring.
    Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
    Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
    This costs you 64 MB of RAM
    Mapping aperture over 65536 KB of RAM @ c4000000

The kernel is not configured with any AGP-related (as far as I now) 
feature/config.

Why does it look for an AGP-bridge???

The dmesg says I should switch on IOMMU, which I did. But that does
not impress the kernel that much since it still recommends to switch
on IOMMU.

What did I wrong here ?

I want to fix issues, which may be reported by dmesg, so:
Where can I find explanations to the dmesg output?

For your information I attached the compressed dmesg output
to this mail.

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