OK, this time it worked!
With mtrr_chunk_size=1g: reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=2048MB: write-back, count=1 reg01: base=0x80000000 (2048MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1 reg02: base=0xbf700000 (3063MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1 reg03: base=0xbf800000 (3064MB), size= 8MB: uncachable, count=1 reg04: base=0x100000000 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
Without mtrr_chunk_size=1g: reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=2048MB: write-back, count=1 reg01: base=0x80000000 (2048MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1 reg02: base=0xa0000000 (2560MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1 reg03: base=0xb0000000 (2816MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1 reg04: base=0xbf700000 (3063MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1 reg05: base=0xbf800000 (3064MB), size= 8MB: uncachable, count=1 reg06: base=0x100000000 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
Both seem equivalent and correct.
There are also no warnings anymore in the dmesg output: With mtrr_chunk_size=1g: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=15950
Without mtrr_chunk_size=1g: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=15951
> also, can you try 64bit too?
I'm not sure how to do this. Can I compile it under 32bit Linux? If not that will be difficult since I don't have space left for a 64bit installation on my hard-drive. Maybe Gabiel C can test 64bit?
