Hi guys!

Found the  boot problem on my dual P3 system!!

Adam: please mount the haiku partition (or whatever) and delete the 
MTRR support: file
 add-ons/kernel/cpu/x86/generic_x86

Leave the drivers all intact, and now try to boot Haiku. Over here it's 
perfectly OK now. No need to disable SMP even!

Axel: could you please checkout MTRR support for dualCPU systems? is 
there something that needs extra attention?

Thanks!!

Rudolf.
