'Reconfigured' compared to what?

Some motherboards using this chipset are reported not to work properly
under Linux unless the IOMMU is enabled by the BIOS.  Linux's AMD IOMMU
driver is only included in 64-bit kernels, so that might have something
to do with the fact that the i386 live CD worked, but it doesn't really
make sense to me.

Anyway, can you check whether there is an option for the IOMMU in the
BIOS setup program?

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
