I borrow Biostar Hi-Fi A85S from a computer store.
On bios setting: chipset > north bridge configuration
There is an interesting option: IOMMU = disabled (by default).

I try to install CentOS 5.11, and there's no shutdown problem.
But...when i change IOMMU = enable, shutdown problem appear with the same error messages.

So I think this is a bios feature problem.
MSI don't have option to control IOMMU feature.
