Table 38. System setup options—Virtualization menu(continued)
Virtualization
Enable OS Kernel DMA support Allows you to control the Kernel DMA protection for both internal and external
ports. This option does not directly enable DMA protection in the operating
system. For operating systems that support DMA protection, this setting
indicates to the operating system that the BIOS supports the feature.
NOTE: This option is not available when the virtualization setting for
IOMMU is disabled (VT-d/AMD Vi).
By default, the ON option is enabled.
NOTE: This option is provided only for compatibility purposes, since some
older hardware is not DMA capable.
