Subject: [coreboot] Gigabyte M57SLI - some troubles with recent corebootversion

]Hello readers,
]
]after some while I tried to use coreboot again on my well supported Gigabyte 
]M57SLI and I was really happy, that the first built image booted the machine.
]
]Last time I tried this, I stumbled across an error with the RAM, and had no 
]time to investigate this further.
]
]With the recent version of coreboot (r6013) I get some errors which I'd like 
]to fix. I don't know if some changes to coreboot happened in the meanwhile or, 
]if the kernel got changed so that this errors appear. My kernel version 
]running is from debian sid with the version number 2.6.32-27 for AMD64.
]
]The problems I get are the following:
][    0.000000] mtrr: your BIOS has set up an incorrect mask, fixing it up.

It looks like your project uses an AMD family 0Fh processor. Windows 7 
checked build makes a blue screen due to the variable MTRR mask. It defaults
to 36, which is incorrect for his processor. 40 is needed:
