Hi Sean,

Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

this isn't a big deal, but linux expects an apperture of >= 64MB, you may want to change this setting in your bios.


If the system doesn't have an AGP slot, would it even need to leave an
aperture(this mobo has a 16x PCI-E slot for the video)?

The IOMMU is still used for some devices that are only 32bit in a 64bit OS. Linux actually will allocate the 64MB anyway, so it doesn't hurt to have the bios and linux in sync ;-)

Would this require ASUS to modify their board/bios?

yep, good luck!

ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
   ACPI-0352: *** Error: Looking up [\_SB_.PCI0.APC0] in namespace, AE_NOT_FOUND
search_node ffff810142857180 start_node ffff810142857180 return_node 0000000000000000
   ACPI-1138: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT] (Node ffff810142857140), AE_NOT_FOUND

same as above, the acpi tables are missing information.

So, this is something that ASUS "needs" to fix or is it something that
needs to change in the ACPI part of the kernel?

Yeah, this is again something that ASUS would need to fix in their bios. I'm not sure how important it is though...
