Well, the most likely is either the kernel, or a bug in your BIOS. I'm
reassigning this bug to the kernel package so that the experts on this
can take a look at this.
What CPU, motherboard and BIOS version do you have exactly? Please
send us the contents of the files /proc/cpuinfo,
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor and
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver, as well as the
output of the command "lsmod" (all this taken when "AMD Quiet'n'cool
is enabled in the kernel). The BIOS version is shown on the boot
screen, before grub (or lilo), usually on the third / fourth line or
something like that.
You may also try to see if there is a BIOS update available for your
motherboard; it may solve the problem.
