------- Comment #21 from [email protected] 2007-07-17 08:20 ------- If you have the ACPI Processor module loaded and it's still failing, then your BIOS does not report the _PSS objects in a way that Linux understands. Update your BIOS.

------- Comment #22 from [email protected] 2007-10-06 13:05 ------- I've now had this same problem. I've contact my motherboard manufacturer (Asus) and they have totally failed to help.

Clearly it is a BIOS problem and the correct solution is for the BIOS to be fixed. I'm still e-mailing Asus but I'm not hopeful.

I'm wondering if there's some way to fake the data. This would have to be done by hard-coding the values into the module. This blatantly sucks but I can't see any other way. This is also inappropriate for the mainline kernel as it's the Wrong Way to do it.
