Hmm, in the bug repport, you said that you can't reproduce the problem:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13001#c15

I can't find your comment like, "I can reproduce that without
allowdac".

Hmm, looks like http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=20895
said that pata_amd and sata_nv use 32bit dma mask.

Ok, let's figure out what's wrong.

First, can you test v2.6.30-rc3 with the following patch?

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tomo/misc/gart-debug.diff


Note that please enable CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG, CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG, and
CONFIG_IOMMU_LEAK and see if you can reproduce the problem (of course,
don't use any kernel option).

When the kernel is out of IOMMU space, it prints some useful
information.
