E7400 Speedstep support?

2009-02-24 Thread Daniel O'Connor
Hi,
I recently got a new Intel E7400 based system and dmesg reports..
est0: Enhanced SpeedStep Frequency Control on cpu0
est0: Guessed bus clock (high) of 37 MHz
est0: Guessed bus clock (low) of 466 MHz
est: CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized.
est: cpu_vendor GenuineIntel, msr 6164a2206004a22
device_attach: est0 attach returned 6
p4tcc0: CPU Frequency Thermal Control on cpu0
cpu1: ACPI CPU on acpi0
est1: Enhanced SpeedStep Frequency Control on cpu1
est1: Guessed bus clock (high) of 37 MHz
est1: Guessed bus clock (low) of 466 MHz
est: CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized.
est: cpu_vendor GenuineIntel, msr 6164a2206004a22
device_attach: est1 attach returned 6
p4tcc1: CPU Frequency Thermal Control on cpu1

I'm running 7.1-STABLE and I was wondering how hard it is to add support for 
est for this CPU?

Thanks.

May those error messages be BIOS related?
From my E7200 (well, this is from -current):

cpu0: ACPI CPU on acpi0
ACPI Warning (tbutils-0243): Incorrect checksum in table [OEMB] -  CF, should be
 C6 [20070320]
est0: Enhanced SpeedStep Frequency Control on cpu0
p4tcc0: CPU Frequency Thermal Control on cpu0
cpu1: ACPI CPU on acpi0
est1: Enhanced SpeedStep Frequency Control on cpu1
p4tcc1: CPU Frequency Thermal Control on cpu1

dev.cpu has also expected values.

Could be, bubt I have the latest BIOS..

Hmm OK, but maybe the 7400 hasn't been added? (or I have a different rev or 
something..)
