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 :-( -- Manfred
