Distribution:Kanotix Hardware Environment:AMD64 dual-core 3800+ Software Environment:32-bit debian sid Problem Description:powernowd would run on only one core at a time..after a long uptime errors showed in messages . enought to not use it past git4 or so Steps to reproduce:build cpufreq into kernel; run powernowd as daemon using modules~ freq_table, powernow_k8 errors: powernow-k8: error - out of sync, fix 0x2 0xc, vid 0x12 0xa, for hundreds of lines with rc7 powernowd doesnt start at all the same kernel-source and config work fine on 64-bit
Is this problem still prsenet in 2.6.20-rc7?
2.6.20-rc7 64-bit SMP , cpufreq is not working on my AMD64x2 3800+ Software Environment:64-bit debian sid will build 32-bit later today
