[arch-general] powernow-k8 fails to load with linux 3.7.2
Hi, I just installed linux 3.7.2 from [testing] on an AMD system and noticed that powernow-k8 is not loaded. As a result, the CPU is stuck at the maximum frequency because ondemand governor is inactive. The precise model is AMD PhenomII X4 955, and modprobe error is: -- % modprobe -vv powernow-k8 modprobe: INFO: custom logging function 0x40ab40 registered modprobe: INFO: Failed to insert module '/lib/modules/3.7.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/powernow-k8.ko.gz': No such device modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'powernow_k8': No such device modprobe: INFO: context 0x21c91b0 released insmod /lib/modules/3.7.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/powernow-k8.ko.gz -- Meanwhile, linux 3.6.11 works fine. Notice also, that acpi_cpufreq 3.7.2 is fine on a INtel core2duo machine. Is it only me, or others have seen this too?
