	Yes. The mb came with the last version of bios. I check for updates from the bios also, thinking that maybe is not release on website, and it says that the bios is up to date. I really believe that the mb is not really supporting IOMMU even if it says that SVM is enabled. For example this mb is not on this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IOMMU-supporting_hardware#Motherboards_2 I found on other forums/articles that: To fully support the IOMMU on MB the BIOS must have, and I quote: "IVRS tables" defined in the BIOS. Which I do not know what i means.

	Is SVM set to Enabled in the BIOS? Also, are you running the latest L1.60 BIOS?

	I spent a lot of time to make this work and now I believe that actually the mb or the bios is the issue. I am trying to enable the IOMMU support on a Ubuntu 16.04 to passthrough the onboard GPU. And even thought the CPU supports the SVM flag the feature is not loaded by the linux kernel for some reason. Is there any change that the mb is not really supporting IOMMU ? Here is my post on Ubuntu forum: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2345571 Here is the CPU info: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Jaguar...50JAH44HM.html Thank you
