ACPI question

[Mazuego]

Hi all
I've a AMD4000+SanDiego on an Asus A8n-Sli Premium. I've installed cpudyn as it's described in "How do I use Cool'n'Quiet/Powernow features?" guide. During boot, I have this message "ACPI throttling support found, but hardware doesn't support it". Could you explain me the problem? How can I fix it? Thank you very much!

I'm gonna guess your computer is a desktop? my guess is powernow only works for laptops... I could be wrong, I'm not sure. I haven't read the guide though.

probably... and turn off powernow and such in the kernel. I'm not entirely sure still haven't looked at the wiki thread. The real use for things like powernow is to conserve battery power on laptops. Basically undo everything you did in the walkthrough on the wiki should do it.

I have an athlon64 3200+ (in a desktop machine), and have powernow/cool'n'quiet working perfectly.

Is the error message you posted from the kernel itself, or from cpudyn?

Some things to try;

• Try powernowd instead of cpudyn, works nicely here
  
• Check to see if your motherboard supports cool'n'quiet (and check for any bios updates)
  
• The error sounds like a miss-configured kernel (I don't think you should be using ACPI throttling)
  If you could post the relevant sections of your kernel config file
  (mostly the "CPU Frequency scaling" and "CPUFreq processor drivers" sections),
  I might be able to help.
