I can't see why creating a domU would be helped by a swiotlb.
Without it, dom0 crashes. I reported on Bugzilla #168 a couple of days ago the following crash when creating a domU on machines built with PAE:

Fatal DMA error! Please use 'swiotlb=force'

Precisely which adaptec card is it, what driver?

SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7901 U320 (rev 10)

This backtrace looks like its doing ide transfers. Have you got active
ide devices in this system?
Actually, the trace was obtained from a machine that has an IDE drive. It was one of two that exhibited this behavior (the other has the SCSI drive), and the only one where I could capture the console log.

Also, please can you rerun this test as the debugging output has been
improved.

I'll do that as soon as I can get the machine back; it is being used to look into another issue at the moment.

Thanks,
Ian
