Subject: MSI K9A2 Platinum Rev.1 bios update from 1.1 to 1.5 breaks ACPI _PSS objects
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:32:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1006443634@web.de> (raw)
Hi,
I just updated my bios on the MSI K9A2 Platinum mainboard from version 1.1 to 1.5. Unfortunately, cpufreq is not working any more, and "modprobe powernow-k8" gives me:
"powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Phenom(tm) 9850 Quad-Core Processor processors (4 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: Your BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSS objects in a way that Linux understands. Please report this to the Linux ACPI maintainers and complain to your BIOS vendor."
I complaint to MSI, and am kindly asking you for advice what to do now, since I don't want to run all my cpus on 100% all the time. Will the cpufreq_ondemand governer also work without the PSS objects?
greetings,
Benjamin
p.s. I mailed MSI that they should contact you at http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/ (just as info for you, they most probably won't do anything I guess)
