[Bug 1274641] Re: 64bit linux on gigabyte motherboards - IOMMU issue?

 

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.13 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  64bit linux on gigabyte motherboards - IOMMU issue?

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a gigabyte GA-970A-DSP3 motherboard, and everything works fine with 32bit Kubuntu 13.10
  After installing 64bit, the USB2 ports on the motherboard didn't work, however the USB3 ports did work. The ethernet (motherboard) and wireless (PCI card) wouldn't connect. They would recognize that the ethernet was plugged in, and detect any wireless networks, but wouldn't connect to them.

  One fix I found for this was to set IOMMU to enabled in the bios, then
  the USB2 ports, ethernet and wireless worked fine, but the USB3 ports
  stopped working.

  I have found others with the same problem with varying models of gigabyte motherboards and distributions of linux.
