I would guess this is a core bug, but it's hard to tell without more information. If you boot with "intel_iommu=off", I would guess the Highpoint card would work (this should have the same effect as turning off CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU). I'd like to compare the complete dmesg log for that boot with the one that fails. It sounds like it might be hard to collect the log for the failing case -- you said the boot fails when the Highpoint card is in the system even if the SSD is connected to the motherboard instead of the Highpoint card. The panic in the photo2 image looks like it's just a failure to mount the root filesystem, which is what I'd expect if we can't find the SSD. It seems like we ought to be able to *boot* with the SSD connected to the motherboard, even if the Highpoint card doesn't work. But worst-case, a video of the failing boot might be enough, especially if you can slow it down with "boot_delay=" > $ dmesg|grep -i iommu > [ 0.055134] dmar: IOMMU 0: reg_base_addr cfdfe000 ver 1:0 cap > c90780106f0462 ecap f020f6 > [ 0.055396] dmar: IOMMU 1: reg_base_addr fecfe000 ver 1:0 cap > c90780106f0462 ecap f020f6 > [ 0.760665] IOMMU 0 0xcfdfe000: using Queued invalidation > [ 0.760803] IOMMU 1 0xfecfe000: using Queued invalidation > [ 0.760937] IOMMU: Setting RMRR: > [ 0.761102] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1d.0 > [0xbf7ec000 - 0xbf7fffff] > [ 0.761329] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1d.1 > [0xbf7ec000 - 0xbf7fffff] > [ 0.761542] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1d.2 > [0xbf7ec000 - 0xbf7fffff] > [ 0.761758] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1d.7 > [0xbf7ec000 - 0xbf7fffff] > [ 0.761974] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1a.0 > [0xbf7ec000 - 0xbf7fffff] > [ 0.762190] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1a.1 > [0xbf7ec000 - 0xbf7fffff] > [ 0.762407] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1a.2 > [0xbf7ec000 - 0xbf7fffff] > [ 0.762620] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1a.7 > [0xbf7ec000 - 0xbf7fffff] > [ 0.762816] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1d.0 [0xec000 > - 0xeffff] > [ 0.763010] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1d.1 [0xec000 > - 0xeffff] > [ 0.763197] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1d.2 [0xec000 > - 0xeffff] > [ 0.763382] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1d.7 [0xec000 > - 0xeffff] > [ 0.763567] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1a.0 [0xec000 > - 0xeffff] > [ 0.763749] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1a.1 [0xec000 > - 0xeffff] > [ 0.763934] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1a.2 [0xec000 > - 0xeffff] > [ 0.764127] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1a.7 [0xec000 > - 0xeffff] > [ 0.764311] IOMMU: Prepare 0-16MiB unity mapping for LPC > [ 0.764465] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1f.0 [0x0 - > 0xffffff] > > -- > > > ==> Further issues with the X9SRL-F -- does this board support ASPM or is > this a Linux/ASPM implementation issue? > [ 0.632170] pci0000:ff: ACPI _OSC support notification failed, disabling > PCIe ASPM > [ 0.632239] pci0000:ff: Unable to request _OSC control (_OSC support > mask: 0x08) I'm going to ignore this issue for the time being. I know we complain about this on many machines, and I don't know whether it's a real problem or just an overly alarming message.
