[SOLVED] Boot hangs early unless using "iommu=off"

Hi,

My PC has a Ryzen 3 1300X CPU running on a Gigabyte AB350M-D3V MB
The GPU is a Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030

I use Grub as the boot loader

My PC hangs when booting from linux-6.9.7.arch1-1.  The console displays:

  Booting `Arch Linux'
Loading Linux linux ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

Then goes no further.

Booting with "iommu=off" or "amd_iommu=off" works as expected.

This affects the following kernels:

linux-6.9.7.arch1-1
linux-6.9.6.arch1-1
linux-6.9.5.arch1-1
linux-6.9.4.arch1-1
linux-6.9.3.arch1-1
linux-6.9.2.arch1-1
linux-6.9.1.arch1-2
linux-6.9.1.arch1-1

linux-6.8.9.arch1-2 and earlier are unaffected.

This seems very similar to an issue I had a year ago.

Any thoughts/advice would be welcome.

Thanks,

Rob
