Yes, I think the ASUS BIOS had listed VT-d. But will double check = tonight. But it might be=20 that the CPU does not support VT-d. Thats very true. Hmmm. Is there any = point even to update the CPU on this system, would it even support some new CPU models = ?=20 > Linux dom0 would likely be in PV mode (note the missing H), which > doesn't require an iommu. OTOH FreeBSD only supports PVH dom0, which > does require an iommu. Right. It could be tat I was using PV mode (paravirtualisation) mode, = without HVM extensions which PVH uses. Right ? Thats I cant say. It was some time = back.=20 Stefan=
