>ahh, i figured something had to go wrong. ;) so if powernow can't find the >powerstates, what does that mean- -the CPU is going to be running full speed all the time? is the source to powernow open
Yes. (both counts) ? is it possible to patch it and hardcode in the powerstates of the CPU so it doesn't have to quer ey the BIOS? > No; you will need to know the appropriate powerstates first. (Each frequency corresponds to a voltage and you need to know both) Then you don't even need to update the driver; all you would need to do is build a replacement ACPI table. That's fairly easy once you have the appropriate numbers for your CPU. Since you have a 4006, I'm assuming you had 2.2 GHz and you know have 2.4; if that is the case we can probably easily assemble a table from the 4006 table plus an additional entry for the 2.4 speed bracket. What does "powernowadm getmsr" report? Casper
