I, too have encountered this on a Tyan S2882-D using AMD Opteron 280s. 
Currently running a Debian compile of 2.6.32, though judging from the above bug
report, a vanilla kernel would present much the same issue.

An earlier kernel (2.6.18 iirc, it's been some time since I booted it) was able
to support powernow just fine.  While I understand that this is largely a bios
issue, there are two reasons I'm adding to this bug:

1. Tyan has not released a bios update for this board since mid-2006, and is
highly unlikely to do so now.

2. The powernow-k8 driver *used* to support this board, but somewhere along the
line, something changed in the driver and now it no longer does.  Can we revert
to the old behavior?  The hardware (cpu + board) clearly has powernow support,
and I'd like to use it.  While I realize that this is older hardware, it's
still recent enough that it's not uncommon to find it in use.

I can provide any information necessary to help move this along.  Thanks.
