Re: [gentoo-amd64] [OT] AGPART [SOLVED]

Thanks, guys!

I knew it was IOMMU, as stated in the help section I quoted in the
first message. I had seen "IOMMU=y" in my .config, but I couldn't find
it anywhere in "menuconfig" in order to disable it. So, Jeffrey
Gardner's response helped me "fix" it. I've always been disabling that
"Small Systems" section because of it's name "CONFIG_EMBEDDED" and
because of the statement "change this stuff only if you know what ya
doin'". So, IOMMU was hidden and auto-enabled.

Duncan, thanks for your most detailed answer. Now I know an additional
thing that should be done when compiling a kernel for systems with >3.5G
RAM. Unfortunately I've got no such "problem" ;-) and I'm happy with
my 1G of RAM. It gets rarely used at 100%. Actually only in situations
like compilation of updated packages + web surfing in the same time.
Beryl and Firefox are my biggest resident memory hogs.

Have a nice weekend, people! :)
