Hello Ben, @VT-d: My CPU (i3-3220T), does not support VT-d. I also see no such option in the BIOS. VT-x however is enabled.
@/proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0 root=UUID=aa6e008e-1ec9-4220-8ae9-9d39e8b469d4 ro quiet The cmdline looks the same with the stock 3.2 kernel too, except of course for the kernel image file. Thank you for your attention, -szabolcs On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 1:52 PM, Ben Hutchings <[email protected]> wrote: > Control: tag -1 moreinfo > > On Mon, 2013-02-25 at 12:45 +0100, szabolcs wrote: >> Package: src:linux >> Version: 3.2.35-2 >> Severity: important >> Tags: upstream >> >> Dear Maintainer, >> >> I am unable to use any of my PCI slots of my new motherboard (a recent HW >> upgrade).
