It's a server platform, I could indeed check if it is the latest bios.

This is happen during the HVM guest boot, all initialisation in dom0 are 
ok. The device I tried to pass-through was a pci NIC.

I have tried to pass-through a PCIe NIC and it works better, I mean the 
hvm guest boot. The NIC card is well detected by the hvm guest but, 
there is still a problem. When I tried to get an ip address from dhcp I 
received a storm of "iommu_page_fault" (enclosed the log).

The pci device I try to pass-through is at the address 8:0:0.

I have disable the pci msi in the guest.

Thanks,
