the initram seems way too long. But that stage 2 tells me you have
some real problems with your dram setup.

It could have been less, timing output from a serial port with a stopwatch isn't very exact. I don't think there's anything wrong with the dram setup, I ran memtest86 overnight without any errors.

I know nothing about this part. I wonder if you could dump your mtrr
settings and let us see them.

Sure, what point do you want them from? End of stage1?

Here's a boot log that dumps them right after serial comes up, again just before disable_car(), and once more before loading stage2. After that mtrrs aren't touched until stage 2 phase 6 AFAIK. I wish I knew more about this stuff, I should probably make some time to read those Intel x86 programming guides.

Thanks,
Corey
