Hello Scott,
thank you for your fast reply!
Your provided solution works fine to fix the MTRR problem on my board!
Just FYI, my CPU is the following:
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
I'm just thinking if your suggested place for changing the KConfig is the right
one, as the other boards did that config in the socket directory.
And I guess that the model_fxx directory is used in several sockets. Therefor
I think it would be better to add that config value in "cpu/amd/socket_AM2" so
that other sockets don't get affected with this change.
Kind regards,
Harald
