Help regarding epox 8hda3+ mobo

[Robos]

Hi List.
I'm new to this list but I hope I have prepared as best as I can. I have a
epox 8hda3+ motherboard with a 3000+ amd64. This is a desktop machine, but
nevertheless I would like to "cool'n quiet" it. Searching through the
archives I found nothing regarding this board but managed to pinpoint the
problem to 
dmesg: 
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version 1.00.09b)
acpi_processor-0973 [32] acpi_processor_get_per: Error evaluating _PSS
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB

Oookay. From reading the list archives I saw that version 1.00.09b is rather
old-ish compared to what's in the list ("version 1.20.08b - March 20,
2004"). As I am not really a kernel hacker, what do I do? I think I have to
try|use the powernow-k8-acpi driver, but how do I make this? I use a
kernel.org vanilla kernel right now. 2.6.7-rc2 to be precise. I just looked
through the 2.6.7-rc3-mm1 patch, but in there is nothing regarding powernow.
Is there some patch repository somewhere? Tracking all those patches to 
patches is a little hard for me...
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Robos

Um, in the file it says 1.00.09e, you are sure this is correct, yes?

Thanks for the wish, but it seems that the problem persists. Still the same
error message. How can I verify that acpi also made a try and not only the
PSB table detection? Is there anything else I can try?
Cheers and thanks
