/proc/mtrr does not exist, that's what's causing the install script to die.

It's running as root, and /proc is definately mounted.

Here's the output of the commands suggested.

bash-2.05b$ ls -l /proc/cpuinfo

I might try the make mrproper idea from Nick, but that might have to wait
until tomorrow. Friends don't let friends drink and compile :o)
