If you are using the hardcoded msr initcode for k7, it takes a very long time to decompress the kernel even you have a very fast k7 cpu.(you can see it counts d0, d1, d2... from the post). It doesn't happen on intel platform though. Unless AMD allows linuxbios project to use the proper(NDA) method to init msr, it is very hard to optimize it. Does AMD just release that part of information?!
