Public bug reported: I have a AMDX64 5200 wit a AliveSATA2-GLAN Board and Nvidia 8800 GT Graphics.
Since one week (after a Hardy 8.4 update) my system freezes on startup when activating powernow. I upgraded to 8.10 beta, but the issue is still there. If I disable the "cool and quiet" option at the bios or the powernowd on startup, the system starts normally. Because I get "Non Fatal - PCI-Express Device" errors I first suspected my graphic card first. But it seems independent on the graphics. Fact 1: Sometimes (after a few reboots and startups in recovery mode) I am able to boot normally. Then I can use the powernow-applet normally. The System runs stable and the CPU-Scaling works perfectly. Fact 2: With a older 8.4 Installation I have no problems. Suggestion: Sometimes the CPU-freq-settings are in a condition, which causes the immediate freeze of the complete system. Any ideas?
