[Bug 382220] Re: powernow-K8:BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI_PSS objects

[David Gaarenstroom]

If any package is related it should be the linux kernel package,
definitely not usplash. However, this is only a BIOS
capability/configuration issue, so I'm also changing the status to
invalid.

** Package changed: usplash (Ubuntu) = linux (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
   Status: New = Invalid

[David Gaarenstroom]

powernow-K8:BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI_PSS objects almost always
means that Cool 'n Quiet has been disabled in the BIOS. This kernel
message also isn't really an error, it just tells that the kernel will
not use CPUFREQ powernow-k8 support because Cool 'n Quiet has been
disabled, so it's doing exactly what is requested.

Please verify if C'n Q has indeed been disabled in the BIOS, and then
determine what you want. If you don't want C'n Q you can ignore this
message (powernow-k8 has been built-in in the kernel so you cannot
prevent this message from being displayed).

I cannot access your motherboards manual without having to register, but
in your BIOS you should probably look at the CPU configuration setting
for something called Cool 'n' Quit, Dynamic Clock or Frequency
Scaling that should be Enabled. Do not use Auto, because that may
only work on Windows. If you you cannot find such an option, you may
have an option AM2 Boost instead, please disable that (only if there
is no C 'n' Q option)...

I got the same error with Ubuntu 9.04 64bit, on my computer,
The machine sometimes hangs, and I have to reboot 5-6 times at worst on each 
bootup, once up, the machine runs smooth.
