Hi Joerg,

Ok it boots ok now, but plugging in a USB device in the 2.0 controller (0a.01.*) results in a flood of error messages about the usb controller not functioning.
When running same kernel with amd_iommu=off results in ...the device at least registering properly as usb device (altough trying to use it now resulted in an entirely new oops probably in the driver of the videograbber.)
