[Intrepid] SRU: Kernel panic on boot if SMP (ASUS M3A-H/HDMI

Mon Apr 27 17:59:45 UTC 2009

SRU Justification:

Impact: The BIOS is expected to clear the SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on AMD CPUs
after fixed MTRRs are configured. Some BIOSes do not clear 
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on BP (and on APs), which leads to panics and freezes.

Fix: Attached patch from upstream which is included in Jaunty and has been 
verified to help on Intrepid too.

Testcase: see bug report.
