reassign 515125 linux-2.6 thanks Hi, Thank you for your bug report.

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.-- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686)Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores)Hi, my mainboard is: ASUS M2N32 WS Professional AwardBIOS v6.00PG, 05/05/2008-C51XEMCP55PXE-M2N32-WS-00.cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governoruserspace userspace (this is default, but last time my machine crashed i have changed manually to 'ondemand')cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driverpowernow-k8cat /proc/cpuinfoprocessor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 67 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 2800.000 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yesflags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacybogomips : 5630.14 clflush size : 64 power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc processor : 1 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 67 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 2800.000 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yesflags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacybogomips : 5630.14 clflush size : 64 power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stccpufreq-infocpufrequtils 004: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006 Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@lists.linux.org.uk, please. analyzing CPU 0: driver: powernow-k8 CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 1 hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 3.00 GHzavailable frequency steps: 3.00 GHz, 2.80 GHz, 2.60 GHz, 2.40 GHz, 2.20 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.80 GHz, 1000 MHz available cpufreq governors: conservative, powersave, ondemand, userspace, performancecurrent policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 3.00 GHz.
