I do have the same problem (--> http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=3243 ). The only known solution so far (at least to me) is to switch back to a 3.7-kernel.

What is your device "0000:00:1d.7", that causes the problem? For me it is my NIC from Atheros. I see you also have an Atheros-NIC.

Try to get back to a 3.7-kernel and see what happens.

I would realy suggest to fill a bug in kernel-bugzilla, if it is a regression with atheros chipset.

i have no idea what is the 0000:00:1d.7. (what is the command to check?)
there is a simple way for do a downgrade of the kernel?

[towo]

lspci -vnn

It seems this is a bug in the atl1c module.
After a lot of googling a fix could be introduced in 3.8.3 hopefully.

it's the usb card i think?

and a fix backported to the kernel in the repo?
for a kernel downgrade how i do? there is a repo?

[Mte90]

for downgrade i have do it this:

Code: [Select]

apt-get install linux-headers-3.7-siduction-amd64 linux-image-3.7-siduction-amd64
and on grub i choose advanced config and choose the 3.7 kernel.

[oduffo]

At least for me the issue seems to be solved.

I am running kernel 3.8.4 since a couple of days now without any problem. All other 3.8.x Kernels (x= 1,2,3) threw the SW-IOMMU error.

Thanks to whoever fixed this.
