I am not using the Mantel kernel, I'm using kernel.org 2.6.7-rc3-mm1, Acer Aspire 1501LCe laptop with Mobile AMD64 XP3000+, SuSE 9.1 x86_64. # lsmod|grep powernow powernow_k8 10504 0 freq_table 5064 1 powernow_k8

You have a C0-Stepping version of the Athlon 64 3000+ that throttles down to 800MHz but with a higher core voltage. My CPU is a CG-stepping, that wasn't supported in the release version of the 2.6.4 kernel. And, the new F7 Bios has wrong entries in a value table. Now I downgraded to F6 version of the GA-K8VT800 Pro Bios. Moritz -- +++ Jetzt WLAN-Router f�r alle DSL-Einsteiger und Wechsler +++ GMX DSL-Powertarife zudem 3 Monate gratis* http://www.gmx.net/dsl
