I get a similar error when loading up since upgrading to Intrepid from
Hardy (goes by a little fast for me to read mind). Checking
/var/log/messages it looks similar though:

Checking aperture...
No AGP bridge found
Node 0: aperture @ 20000000 size 32 MB
Mapping aperture over 65536 KB of RAM @ 20000000

System is an AMD 64 with 4GB of RAM. It is not prevented boot up though
so is not critical for me. The main reason I'm posting is that I noticed
this bug under Hardy:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/203537

This related to the Suspend option ruining the ext3 file system on AMD64
systems. Pretty scary stuff. Now I do recall that the error on bootup
made reference to GART IOMMU. In the other bug, it notes that "the
kernel option "iommu=soft" fixes this problem".

My question is, are the two bugs related? In other words, in order to
resolve the (admittedly very worrying) filesystem corruption bug, does
Intrepid ship with 'safe' GART IOMMU kernel options?
