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
