I have an AMD 64 3200+ processor with 4 p-states (according to AMD
specs), with frequencies of 1.0, 1.8, 2.0, and 2.2 GHz. On boot
(Fedora Core 4, kernel 2.6.12), however, the powernow-k8 module only
recognises the highest three frequencies

  powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version 1.40.2)
  powernow-k8:    0 : fid 0xe (2200 MHz), vid 0x2 (1500 mV)
  powernow-k8:    1 : fid 0xc (2000 MHz), vid 0x6 (1400 mV)
  powernow-k8:    2 : fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0xa (1300 mV)

My guess is that this problem is due to a buggy BIOS. Are there any existin=
g=20
solutions to this problem? Given the apparent number of AMD 64 motherboards=
=20
with similar problems, surely it would be useful to be able to specify
the p-state
table as a configuration option for the powernow-k8 module?
