Ah, OK, I've just sent you a message asking for the mtrr_add() call to
be replaced with a printk(). Please do that for patch-con118 applied.
In other words, take 2.1.118, apply patch-con-118 and then replace the
mtrr_add() with printk().

OK, if UP works fine with 2.1.118+patch-con118 that confirms my
suspicions. However, the boot logs you sent me confuses things a bit,
so I really need the boot logs I described above (dmesg output, not
the logfile variety).
