Thank you, Nekoboi. If I understand it correctly: you haven't changed anything at coreboot or its' configuration, but your IOMMU suddenly started to work? ;-) (unknown what got it working?) Also, please could you make almost the same coreboot build, with the only difference is these microcodes installed by the unofficial patch: http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Lenovo_G505S_hacking#AMD_microcode_updat... , and then try it again with the same Linux to see if it's still working. With this patch applied, the microcode level should be 0x0600111f (...1f instead of ...0f) to confirm the successful installation.

no microcode was included in that build.
next step i will try if, the problems occur again if i remove microcode updates via llinux kernel.
here is cbmem output as attachment

also it seems that IOMMU is working now...
Congratulations with these amazing news! Please tell, what version of coreboot you've currently installed? Also, have you used this microcode updating patch from DangerousPrototypes page before building your current coreboot build?
maybe cause i have microcode updates in the kernel included this time ?
By the way, the microcode updates provided by Linux are _older_ than what this "microcode updating patch" is providing : simply because AMD has shared their latest update with some proprietary UEFI makers but didn't share them with the opensource world (and so we had to get them by manually extracting). But if the kernel sees that a newer microcode version is loaded, it doesn't replace it. Please, could you check and tell, what microcode version do you see as installed?
