I'm the proud owner of a new "Lima" Athlon64, and was annoyed to see that powernow-k8 didn't recognize it. It turns out AMD bumped the revision number from 6 to 7, and powernow-k8 doesn't like that. At the suggestion of powernow-k8's maintainer (Mark Langsdorf) I edited line 49 of powernow-k8.h and changed: #define CPUID_XMOD_REV_G 0x00060000 to #define CPUID_XMOD_REV_H 0x00070000 then changed CPUID_XMOD_REV_G in powernow-k8.c to CPUID_XMOD_REV_H (actually, he just said "bump it to 7", but it seemed logical to increment the revision letter, too) This worked, and the cpuspeed daemon lowered the CPU frequency and voltage when idling. Anyway, Mark said he'd submitted a patch, but it hadn't made its way to the main kernel source yet. Is there any chance the Fedora kernel maintainers might add such a patch to the next kernel?
