If the MTRR is so bad then why is it working in SuSE 9.1 and up to vanilla kernel 2.6.8? Anyway, since it looks like TYAN-BIOS from May 2004 is working I will go back to an older FSC-BIOS to check what's happening then. Our history was like that:
The SUSE 9.2 MTRR driver is identical to the vanilla 2.6.8 driver. But it's strange that it didn't trigger with the older versions, agreed. Perhaps some race condition is involved.
Wait with that until I checked the things I told you above. And to be of help for the customers we need to find a way that the customer can install the 9.2 distribution.
Updating the BIOS? There is unfortunately no command line option to turn MTRR syncing off, although I'm considering to add it now. -Andi
