Hal,

If you work with Xen, please try to add "iommu=1 vtd=1" in Xen command 
line (i.e. the end of "module /boot/xen.gz ...")
If you work with Linux, please try to add "iommu=on" in the command
line (i.e. the end of "module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30 ..."

PS: do you know which platform HP dc7800 is? *Field or *Dale?
Can you see VTd lsoc (Azalia) WA in BIOS or somewhere?

Thanks.
Shane
