mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4kiB (<<-- this line is repeated 20 times).



Could you add this so we can track down the culprit?


I got another user who reported the same problem to test the patch, the result is:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=48451
(original bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/77674)

I will confirm whether or not this is a gentoo-specific problem or not and let you know.

Patched + removed VESAFB from config.

The mtrr patch in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77674 appears to fixes the problem. No further mtrr debug outputs occurred. Clean boot output now for 2.6.10-r4 + mtrr-debug.patch.

Will try again with VESAFB re-enabled and post further results @ bugs.gentoo.org (if any).

THX!

Steve
