Hi! I have the same problem with my K8V-X. I solved it as follows: At http://lists.linux.org.uk/mailman/private/cpufreq/2004-August/004191.html there is a patch for that. (You have to register with the mailing list for accessing the post). It's the file I have attached. Apply the patch to the SuSE kernel sources. Compile the modules and copy the file /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24.11/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/powernow-k8.ko to the directory /lib/modules/2.6.8-override-default After a restart, Cool'n'Quiet should work and the kpowersave applet shows the current speed. If you need more detailed instructions just tell me! Greetings Adrian On Friday 11 February 2005 20:07, Laurent GUERBY wrote:

Hi,

Even if my current BIOS option "Cool&Quiet" is on, SuSE 9.2 kernel-default-2.6.8-24.11 reports otherwise:

powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version 1.00.09b) powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB

model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+

I'm thinking of updating my BIOS which is currently:

str1: "American Megatrends Inc." str2: "1001.005" str3: "02/09/2004"

str1: "ASUSTeK Computer Inc." str2: "K8VSEDX" str3: "Rev 1.xx" str4: "MB-1234567890"

to something more recent, on the ASUS site I found:

File Type BIOS File Name K8vsedx5.zip File Size 422669 bytes Version 1005 Date 2004/12/22 Download 5501

Has anyone used this BIOS version, and does Cool & Quiet work on this motherboard with a recent enough BIOS?

My AMD64 machine has no floppy, I assume I have to burn a CD or play with an USB key boot, any URL or steps to do so?

Thanks in advance,

Laurent
