["Rudolf" <drivers.be-hold@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

BTW:

Both the matrox and nvidia driver don't work: i.e. the MTRR problem is 
the framebuffer mapping.
If I remove both drivers and disable SMP I am able to boot into haiku. 
It works more or less then, BUT
The screen updates are very slow, happening in horizontal lines (Axel, 
I told you about these lines), and after a second or so: the lines 
start to be a complete screen: hence MTRR problems as well here!

The broken symlink I suspected to halt the boot process was false 
alarm. Tried drivers in home/config: works OK as well.

I am now downloading the 9:39PM - 30 jan image from sikosis, will see 
if that works OK with and without MTRR support.
