Speaking of mtrr and e820....
Could someone please take a peek at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10508 ?
For some reason we seem to have turned this:
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f800 (usable) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 000000000009f800 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 00000000000dc000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 00000000bf6d0000 (usable) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 00000000bf6d0000 - 00000000bf6e3000 (ACPI NVS) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 00000000bf6e3000 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0000000 (reserved) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec10000 (reserved) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 00000000fed00000 - 00000000fed00400 (reserved) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 00000000fed14000 - 00000000fed1a000 (reserved) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 00000000fed1c000 - 00000000fed90000 (reserved) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee01000 (reserved) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 0000000140000000 (usable)
into this:
reg00: base=0xc0000000 (3072MB), size=1024MB: uncachable, count=1 reg01: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=4096MB: write-back, count=1 reg02: base=0x100000000 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1 reg03: base=0xbf700000 (3063MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1 reg04: base=0xbf800000 (3064MB), size= 8MB: uncachable, count=1
which screws up the X server's attempt to map the video memory at 0xd0000000.
Thanks.
