Well I haven't used the Uli chipset so I have no idea how good/bad it might be or how the support is for it (other than support at all is very recent in the kernel). How much ram do you have? I am surprised at the 'no IOMMU' message unless you have 4GB or more of ram and the bios is misconfigured and/or broken.
