Tobias Wintrich 2.1 1 A customer has reported boot errors after updating to a RangeeOS version newer than 13.00 Build 165 on their HP 260 G1 DM.

Tobias Wintrich 2.1 5 The cause is a stricter check of the default behavior of the Intel IOMMU. This now checks for correct functionality. If this check fails, some components cannot be initialized correctly. There is presumably a BIOS bug here that causes the IOMMU to not be used correctly. However, as long as you do not intend to virtualize anything on the hardware, this is not a major issue and the function can be disabled.
