However, this is the newest kernel I have been able to build and boot, on the target box. I started with the latest and worked my way back down to 2.6.32.25, to get one that would build and boot. Most of our platforms are up to about 2.6.32.32 or thereabouts. Whooooa. What are the boot issues with the newer kernels? BTW, you hadn't provided me with the 'drm.debug=255' and 'i915..' debug options. > > The target is an Intel DG35JO board, which is a bit old itself? It does not expose all of the latest VT-d features, so perhaps it would be better to set the whole platform aside and put efforts into getting newer hardware that can do things like SR-IOV and EPT? It should work. I've some more ancient boxes than that and they boot fine.
