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.
