Hello,

I've two machines with the following configuration:
    Processor:    Intel Core Solo T1300 / Intel Celeron M 420
    Mainboard:    Asus N4L-VM DH with Intel 945GM Chipset with an AMI BIOS
    (I suppose the drives and the memory are not important)

With the vanilla kernels 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 the /proc/acpi/processor/CPU1/info file shows that there is no bus mastering nor power management, and looking at /proc/acpi/processor/CPU1/power the states accounting only shows the C1 state but without any data (0 or -- on all the values), although it shows that the maximum C-State is C8.
C8 is the maximum C-State supported by Linux.

Actually is could be, that nothing is broken. If the bios does not export more than one C-State, than everything is (from the view of linux) ok. If you want to find out, what C-States are exported by the bios, decompile your DSDT (can be found under /proc/acpi/dsdt) with the IASL compiler (http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/license2.htm), and search in the decompiled version for _CST. More information about the _CST object can be found in the ACPI-Specification (www.acpi.info)
