http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12993 --- Comment #4 from Thomas Renninger <trenn@xxxxxxx> 2009-04-01 10:59:43 --- powernow-k8 can of course be used for MP laptops/workstations/servers. The problem of your "customized" machine is, that the BIOS does not recon the CPUs and thus cannot expose the needed cpufreq info to the OS via the _PSS ACPI function. You could try to implement the _PSS function yourself and override your DSDT, but that is not perfect (e.g. DSDT table changes on HW changes, e.g. exchanging memory). You could also patch powernow-k8.c and statically fill the needed values. Best you complain to the vendor, anyway. CPUfreq won't work with this type of CPUs on Windows, too. There is nothing that can be done to enhance the kernel to support your machine, this must be done in the BIOS or you go for a private patch which is not worth it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cpufreq" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
