The normal SuSE kernel is compiled with support for mtrr's and Athlons do not use them.
Slight correction here. Athlons and K6s do offer memory type range
registers, aka mtrr. The problem is, that AMD implemented them in the K6 in
their own way, while those of the Athlon are PPro/PII/PIII compatible. The kernel
in 6.2 has the order, in which it checks for processors, wrong, so it tries
the AMD way for Athlons, which will of cause fail.
The updated kernel has the checks corrected, so it will use PPro style
mtrr for Athlons.
