copying LB to RAM seems to be very slow ?!
takes about 3 - 4 seconds for the 256k image
after boot, uncompressing the kernel is much slower as under factory bios.
How many megabytes in how many seconds? is it compressed?
Its done in 8 - 9 seconds. kernel is 700k big. Well, it is a bzImage and should be compressed.
Ok, all this sounds as if all memory as such is either not cacheable or cache is deactivated.
Questions to solve:
* Are there mechanisms specific to the GX1 that are not required on other systems to enable cache?
* Are the MTRRs set correctly?
* Does this occur on other GX1 boards as well, but was not detected so far?
* If yes, whats the difference to LinuxBIOSv1 here, because I seem to remember we did not have such a problem back then.
