The mtrr line was the last line before I rebooted, right after the crash. I'm not exactly sure what the mtrr is, though.
Me neither, not much. The 'apropos' command yields some info: mtrr_add - Add a memory type region ... Memory type region registers control the caching on newer Intel and non Intel processors. This function allows drivers to request an MTRR is added. The details and hardware specifics of each processor's implementation are hidden from the caller, but nevertheless the caller should expect to need to provide a power of two size on an equivalent power of two boundary. And then, there is the kernel documentation on it: /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.75/Documentation/mtrr.txt Do you have a vodoo card? See this note: |Some cards (especially Voodoo Graphics boards) need this 4 kB area |excluded from the beginning of the region because it is used for |registers. It would then be an error in the driver programming... can you try another driver? I'm shooting on the dark. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
