a couple of powernow-k8 questions
Hi there,
I'm running an athlon64 3000+ on an epox-mainboard.
after some bios-upgrades through their support I'm getting at least a bit of powernow-support ;)
Through startup I'm getting these messages now:
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version 1.00.09b) powernow-k8: 0 : fid 0xc (2000 MHz), vid 0x2 (1500 mV) powernow-k8: 1 : fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0x6 (1400 mV) powernow-k8: 2 : fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0x6 (1400 mV) powernow-k8: cpu_init done, current fid 0xc, vid 0x2 ACPI: (supports S0 S1 S4 S5)
Just to confirm: does that mean only these modes are supported? Wasn't there something down to 800 MHz for the athlon64-processors? Is this a problem of the mainbord (aka still their bios ;)) or of the driver?
Any way to workaround this?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

I'd say bios problem. Only AMD people know for sure.

Look into archives for methods how to override.

Hi Pavel,
thanks and its solved already.
I got a brand new bios (July 1st ;-)) from my mainboard-manufacturer which solved the problem.
My CPU is now running nicely at 32°C.
Regards,
Thomas
