I´m running an AMD64 with kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13 default. With dmesg I get the following warning: Aug 27 08:10:18 egal kernel: ACPI Warning (acpi_utils-0065): Invalid package argument [20060127] Aug 27 08:10:18 egal kernel: ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0274): AE_BAD_PARAMETER, Invalid _PSS data [20060127] Aug 27 08:10:18 egal kernel: cpu_init done, current fid 0xe, vid 0x0 Aug 27 08:10:18 egal kernel: powernow-k8: ph2 null fid transition 0xe Aug 27 08:10:20 egal kernel: hdb: task_no_data_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Aug 27 08:10:20 egal kernel: hdb: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } Aug 27 08:10:20 egal kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xef Aug 27 08:10:24 egal kernel: powernow-k8: internal error - pending bit very stuck - no further pstate changes possible Aug 27 08:10:24 egal kernel: powernow-k8: transition frequency failed. I postet this before an was told this is because of the Invalid_Pss data. Now I found this bug on bugzilla.kernel.org number 6782 for kernel 2.6.17-mm5 as resolved.PATCH_ALREADY_AVAILABLE http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6782. Is this patch available for Suse 10.1 or will it be fixed in a new Kernel-Version? Thank you Michael
Some time ago I had a similar problem (GigaByte Nvidia borad). Was solved with an update of the BIOS. After that the kernal could acces/use the powernow data. Regards, Werner

Unlikely. For some reason, the transitions are failing on the hardware side. It could be a _PSS issue, but I doubt it. What fid/vid table are you getting when the driver starts up? -Mark Langsdorf AMD, Inc.

Hi, after sending the last mail I got a returned mail from the mail delivery subsystem. In the mail it reads something like this: The original message was received at Wed, 13 Sep 2006 18:54:39 +0200 (MEST) from [87.245.121.234] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <peter.gyoergyfalvay@ecenter-solutions.com> (reason: 550 <81.169.145.181> is blacklisted (RBL)) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to mail.messaging.ch.:

Has this to say anything for me?

Hi, today I recognized the cpufreq-module of Enlightenment (e17) shows changes of the frequencies between 1 Ghz and 2,2 Ghz by opening applications. Is there a way to monitor or log the frequencies. And what are the rules of the changes? Actually running thunderbird, Opera and kaffeine-dvdapplication, The cpu-monitor of e17 shows now 1 Ghz with a CPU-usage between 9 and 20 percent (in Gkrellm). Running for example ekiga brings the cpu-freq up to 2.2 Ghz and then back to 1.8 Ghz and finally 1 Ghz. But this all fits not with the message powernow-k8: internal error - pending bit very stuck - no further pstate changes possible
