SMP: MTRR problem (Compaq ML-370 BIOS bug)
Hello:
I have just compiled a 2.2.19 kernel for a Compaq ML370
with SMP support remotely (because it is a debian :-).
I have read:
http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~axel/Configure.help-2.2
http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/proliantml370/description2.html
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMP-HOWTO-2.html
It worked on the first try! The /proc/cpuinfo looks fine
(two processors) but /var/log/messages has this warning:
mtrr: your CPUs had inconsistent fixed MTRR settings
mtrr: probably your BIOS does not setup all CPUs.
Question: is this a problem or just a warning?
/proc/mtrr looks like this:
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x00020000 ( 0MB), size= 64kB: uncachable, count=1
reg02: base=0x00040000 ( 0MB), size= 64kB: uncachable, count=1
reg03: base=0x00060000 ( 0MB), size= 64kB: uncachable, count=1
reg04: base=0x00080000 ( 0MB), size= 64kB: uncachable, count=1
reg05: base=0x000a0000 ( 0MB), size= 64kB: uncachable, count=1
reg06: base=0x000c0000 ( 0MB), size= 64kB: uncachable, count=1
reg07: base=0x000e0000 ( 0MB), size= 64kB: uncachable, count=1
