 |
|
Hi folks - I'm having problems enabling MTRR on a system with an AMD K6-2 CPU. From what I've read on various newsgroups, this processor should support MTRRs. However, when I check out /proc/cpuinfo, MTRR is not listed.
| Code: |
cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 5
model : 8
model name : AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor
stepping : 0
cpu MHz : 332.746
cache size : 64 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 mmx syscall 3dnow
bogomips : 663.55

In addition, there is no /proc/mtrr.
I am careful to enable it in my kernel config, as well as set the correct processor type; the line:
CONFIG_MTRR=y
.. is in my config file after using genkernel --config to build it.
Has anyone else experienced this, or know what might be causing it?
