You shouldn't have to recompile the whole kernel, I think just a make menuconfig and a make dep should be enough. However, I do think you need to boot into your win4lin kernel (text-only) and then emerge from there so the running kernel and the one you are building for match.
I think MTRR is located in Processor Options..... Good luck....I am going home now too.....'tis 5am here and I am tired of being at work.
