What does a processor in sockel7-architecture has to do with the chipset?
well there are the occasional differences that crop up on power-up. There are interesting differences in MTRR and other such things. We'll figure these out though.
Setting up the MTRRs should be left to the kernel IMHO. They have a fine tuned driver there for sometime.
OpenBIOS should just initialise them to a sane state, and leave things at that. Or is that what you meant ?
