Outch.
Thanks to Jogchum I got modprobe powernow-k8 with some more ACPI debug enabled.
It's a BIOS bug..., the ACPI tables have cpufreq info for CPU0, but simply miss
the cpufreq Info for CPU1.
There could get added something to get out of the driver more gracefully.
Currently the powernow-k8 driver even loads (which it did not with e.g. 10.2):
cpufreq-core: initialization complete
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1
nsutils-0454 [00] ns_build_internal_name: Returning [ffff81007cfd9560] (rel)
"_PCT"
nsutils-0869 [00] ns_get_node : _PCT, AE_NOT_FOUND
processor_perflib-0312 [00] processor_get_performa: ACPI-based processor
performance control unavailable
powernow-k8: register performance failed: bad ACPI data
powernow-k8: MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
cpufreq-core: driver powernow-k8 up and running
It's a bit strange that behaviour changed even between 10.2 and 10.3, but
there is not much we can do here (beside exiting gracefully).
I let two machines run over night to hit the deadlock case (the one was the
machine which I thought froze) -> no freeze
Those are still happily rebooting. Maybe this was a false alarm...
Here again the board:
MSI K8N Master2FAR
Someone should tell MSI about this issue.
Jogchum, you may want to monitor the support sites of MSI and look out for a
possibly upcoming BIOS.
