Problem

I switched from Nvidia Quadro k620 to ATI Radeon HD 7850, and the ATI works nicely, except for random freezes. From syslog:

Feb 21 16:42:34 kvmhost kernel: [14207.534328] DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
Feb 21 16:42:34 kvmhost kernel: [14207.534339] DMAR: INTR-REMAP: Request device [[00:00.1] fault index 4

Attempted fix

I searched Google for DMAR, and a page about Intel-IOMMU on kernel.org said to disable "igfx" by using intel_iommu=igfx_off. The symptoms are still there, though.

I followed the Intel-IOMMU page and tried to report a bug, but they replied and said to ask here.

  • Define freeze! Can you change to VT? Log in with SSH? Which video driver? What is xorg.conf? – pauljohn32 Feb 23 '17 at 10:37

    I think it is solved. pci=nomsi, I added it to grub.

    sudo vi /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="pci=nomsi"

    After that, the freeze disappear.

    Thanks for your effort.
