please show output of lspci, and 'lspci -v' for you nvidia card. what brand/model card is it? does your BIOS have IOMMU support enabled? (i've found that that can cause problems for the nvidia driver)
The EFI manual talks about an Intel VT-d thingy which is disabled by default. I expect it is still disabled.
also details on your kernel version and hardware would be useful, including details your motherboard, disk controller, on the drives used by your XFS fs. also is XFS on raw disk partition(s) or LVM?
The XFS fs is on a raw disk partition (/dev/sdb5). This is a GPT partition on a WD SATA drive. -- Anthony Shipman Mamas don't let your babies als@iinet.net.au grow up to be outsourced.
