[Bug 16961] Re: System freezes whilst powernowd stepping up AMD64 freq (intermittent/hoary)

[Abdullah Ramazanoglu]

The original problem, with the same symptoms, still exists in Kubuntu
Dapper 6.06 with both default (generic) and k8 kernels. I don't include
/proc/cpuinfo as this is the same CPU as the original problem report.
Package version info follows:

Generic kernel:
linux-image-2.6.15-23-amd64-generic / 2.6.15-23.39
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-amd64-generic / 2.6.15.11-1

K8 kernel:
linux-image-2.6.15-26-amd64-k8 / 2.6.15-26.44
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-amd64-k8 / 2.6.15.11-3

Other:
powernowd / 0.97-1ubuntu1

For the record: Workaround is disabling /etc/init.d/powernowd with:
chmod -x /etc/init.d/powernowd
