4.0.2 is rather old, would you be able to install 4.1.0?

We've had some trouble with MX. What makes you think MTRRs are hanging
the machine? There are a couple updated drivers on my page at
http://www.user1.netcarrier.com/~kbrosius/pages/virge.html, although I
suspect even the 4.0.3 version will not run with 4.0.2. If you give it
a try let me know if it loads.
