3.9.8: cannot boot with iommu=on using 6gbps highpoint sata card

2013-06-28 Thread Justin Piszcz
Hello,

This bug I reported in November 2012:
http://www.kernelhub.org/?p=2=170797
http://home.comcast.net/~jpiszcz/20121128/highpoint.jpg

Some discussion on the patches:
http://www.kernelhub.org/?p=2=172597
http://www.kernelhub.org/?p=2=171846
http://www.kernelhub.org/?p=2=172346

My current choices:
1. Stick with old kernel (3.7.x) + patch, which works w/IOMMU=on and use
6gbps SATA board.
2. Put drive back on motherboard SATA2 and the machine will boot properly
with any kernel.
3. I would prefer to use 6gbps if possible.

There is still a problem with 3.9.8: (below)

Rebooting to new kernel (3.9.8) from the 3.7.x kernel w/ patch provided
earlier:
