Hi guys,

I've just tried the cpufreq modules that come with 2.4.21-ac1 and I'm
having no luck getting them to work. I have a Compaq mx9005 based on the
mobile Athlon 4 (2400+). When I load the powernow-k7 module I get the
following:

powernow: AMD K7 CPU detected.
powernow: PowerNOW! Technology present. Can scale: frequency and
voltage.
powernow: Found PSB header at c00f18c0
powernow: Table version: 0x12
powernow: Flags: 0x0 (Mobile voltage regulator)
powernow: Settling Time: 100 microseconds.
powernow: Has 14 PST tables. (Only dumping ones relevant to this CPU).

Nothing else, it doesn't seem to dump and PST tables (as other examples
I've seen show the driver reporting extra info about the CPU).

If I execute the following command:

echo "5000000:17000000:performance" > /proc/cpufreq

Then the module panics and I get the following in dmesg

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

Do I need to add some kind of processor defintion? If so how do I do it?

Regards,

Matt
