After upgrading to Precise, the systems 'pauses' every few seconds and I get loads of the following in dmesg:
[ 56.996322] DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
[ 56.996330] DMAR:[DMA Write] Request device [00:02.0] fault addr 7bf1c7000
[ 56.996332] DMAR:[fault reason 05] PTE Write access is not set
I have an Intel i7. This never happened in 11.10. I saw bug #894070 which had similar (but different) errors, and saw that using 'intel_iommu=off' could be a workaround. I tried it and the errors went away and the system operates normally again.

Hi Jamie,
Could you boot into the 3.2.0-4.10 kernel and see if the issue still exists? That previous kernel is available at: /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux/3. 2.0-4.10/ +build/ 2999295

Thanks
