Xen devel - Oct 2008 - Summary about issues solved by BIOS update CBQ4510H.86A.0061: Board DC45CB

Hello folks,

Some days ago Intel put a new firmware for the board onto their WEB-site
        CBQ4510H.86A.0061.BI.ZIP

I upgraded my board from CBQ4510H.86A.0059 with that new BIOS and the 
following problems seem to have vanished:

Summary:
=======Update to BIOS CBQ4510H.86A.0061.BI.ZIP solved the following issues:

- Whenever I boot my Xen 2.6.18.8 (Xen 3.3) with kernel parameter iommu=1
the boot process freezes.

- When I insert a PCIe x16 Graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro) the BIOS 
menu display somehow becomes slow. The experience is like if you use a 300 
Baut serial line connection.
