Subject: 2.5.24-dj2: oops in finalize_mtrr_state with bochs
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 21:30:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D18C4DA.9030405@colorfullife.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 357 bytes --]

The bochs cpu emulator (tries to emulate Pentium cpus) oopses in 
finalize_mtrr_state():

mtrr_if is NULL, and thus use_intel() crashes.

Patch attached. I've modified is_cpu() as well, without checking if this 
macro could be used if mtrr_if is not initialized.

Partially tested - bochs now hangs at the first access to the ide 
interface :-(
