[Bug 398109] Re: powernow-k8: Your BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSS objects in a way that Linux understands

2017-06-21 Thread Harald Prasse
dmesg |grep powernow
[1.132134] [Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: No compatible ACPI _PSS objects 
found.
[1.132134] [Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: First, make sure Cool'N'Quiet is 
enabled in the BIOS.
[1.132134] [Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: If that doesn't help, try upgrading 
your BIOS.

This is what I am getting when trying to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04. I
have been looking in many places but only found this old bug report that
is in the same area. I have tried to boot 14.10 which works fine, than
15.04 which shows the same message but jumps past it and loads Ubuntu.
So does 15.10. As soon as I try 16.04.2 The message is the last screen
that is loaded. The machine then freezes and has to be rebooted.

I hope I am not stuck with the older Ubuntu versions, since 8.04
everything just worked fine so I assume something in the ACPI polling
has changed.

I attached the output from dmidecode so that the configuration of the
machine should be complete.

Can anyone help, please?

[Bug 398109] Re: powernow-k8: Your BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSS objects in a way that Linux understands

2010-04-12 Thread David Gaarenstroom
@swordfish: 
Option 2 is the way to go, that warning about the 8254 timer can be safely 
ignored.

Your BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSS objects in a way that Linux
understands 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.

Unfortunately the Ubuntu people chose to built-in the powernow-k8
module, so there's no way to prevent powernow-k8 from being loaded, what
may be exactly what you want...

Hi NeilEvanJensen,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in
it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try
with the latest development release of Ubuntu?  ISO CD images are
available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a
Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal).  It will automatically
gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 398109

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would
be great.  It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the
issue.  Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .  Once
you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-
testing' tag.  This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon
next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and
deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.  Please let us know your
results.

Thanks in advance.

[This is an automated message.  Apologies if it has reached you
inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

Hey all...

I was a little busy last time, but I found solution ;)

I've got Asus M2N-MX SE Plus mainboard.
Usermanual you can find here:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-usmodel=M2N-MX%20SE%20Plus
BIOS version is  v02.58 1958-2007 American Megartends inc.
Kernel is 2.6.28-14.47

1) Default BIOS settings :
* Cool'n'Qulet - disabled
* ACPI APIC support - enabled
* MCP61 ACPI HPET TABLE - enabled
Error is: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
Log file is: dmesg1

2) Settings A:
+ Cool'n'Qulet - enabled (changed)
* ACPI APIC support - enabled
* MCP61 ACPI HPET TABLE - enabled
Error is: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
Log file is: dmesg2

3) Settings B:
+ Cool'n'Qulet - enabled (changed)
+ ACPI APIC support - disabled (changed)
* MCP61 ACPI HPET TABLE - enabled
Error is: [Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: Your BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSS 
objects in a way that Linux understands. Please report this to the Linux ACPI 
maintainers and complain to your BIOS vendor.
Log file is: dmesg3

3) Settings B:
+ Cool'n'Qulet - enabled (changed)
* ACPI APIC support - enabled (default)
+ MCP61 ACPI HPET TABLE - disabled (changed)
No errors!!!
Log file is: dmesg4

So, that you can see the reason was in MCP61 ACPI HPET TABLE setting. 
Have anybody got some ideas about this situation?

It may be worth checking that Cool 'n Quiet is enabled in the BIOS.

This is discussed for a similar motherboard here:

I've got the same trouble with Asus M2N-MX SE motherboard.
BIOS version number is 0602 (latest at this time), all settings is default.
Ubuntu version is 9.04 with latest kernel.

Hey swordfish,

A thought for a little more info for the Linux team.  Since this
problem is in the BIOS programming.  What brand bios do you have?
Phoenix? AMI? etc...

  I was trying to add the cpu frequency scaling monitor applet to my gnome
 desktop panel and I received the message: CPU frequency scaling unsupported
 You will not be able to modify the frequency of your machine.  Your machine
 may be misconfigured or not have hardware support for CPU frequency scaling.

 My system monitor shows the percentage frequency each core is using just
 fine.

 My system is an Asus M2N68-VM motherboard w/ AMD 64 dual core 4850e 2.5 ghz
 processor
 The bios is AMI v 2.61

 Hope this helps figure it out eventually.  Thanks.
