I tried to recompile the kernel with mtrr support, but this didnt help :(, 
and also I did update to the latest bios (which I was forced to do in order 
for it to recognize my cpu).  I have not yet tried Nathan Hand's suggestion, 
but will try that next (unfortunately redhat 7 does not come with a README.S3 
file)

Thanks again for everyones help
