Hi, I have server that has been running 5.x - 5.8 for a few years without issue and decided to move it to a fresh install of 6.2. First thing I noticed is a good part of the log has these mtrr messages finally ending with "mtrr_cleanup: can not find optimal value" and "please specify mtrr_gran_size/mtrr_chunk_size". I have been searching around and reading the kernel docs but are bit lost on the impact. The system CPU is a q6600 so it supports mtrr. It has 8gb of RAM and a G33 intel chipset (maximum memory is 8gb), 256mb onboard Intel video. Problem exists with DVD 6.2 kernel and latest in yum update 2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64. If I disable the Bios "memory remap feature", mtrr appears to have found it settings. But it says total ram covered is 7415M, so I lose some memory since when enabled it shows 8183M but mtrr fails. A little concerned about putting this back into production with this but hope to get it resolved rather than reinstall 5.8. Will mtrr failing result in stability or performance loss? Is there any performance loss disabling memory remap in bios other than losing 600k? thx Is this happening because the chipset only supports 8gb of memory and therefore mtrr cannot remap memory above 8gb? (assuming not since problem did not exist in 5.x centos) -- Mike Bios Memory remap feature: enabled Apr 11 17:25:36 kernel: total RAM covered: 8183M Apr 11 17:25:36 kernel: gran_size: 64K chunk_size:
