[Bug 30698] Re: powernow-k7 does not work linux-image-*-k7 (does with plain -386 kernel)

[debernardis]

I am running kubuntu 6.06 lts, kernel 2.6.15-23-k7, on a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ K8. My laptop is a HP Pavilion ZV6278EA.
In these conditions, frequency is NOT scaled. 
Powernowd seems to be correctly loaded, though:

$ sudo powernowd
Password:
powernowd: PowerNow Daemon v0.97, (c) 2003-2006 John Clemens
powernowd: Found 1 scalable unit:  -- 1 'CPU' per scalable unit
powernowd:   cpu0: 1000Mhz - 2200Mhz (4 steps)

powernowd:      step2 : 2000Mhz
powernowd:      step3 : 1800Mhz
powernowd:      step4 : 1000Mhz

Turning to the 2.6.15-23-386 kernel, frequency seems to be correctly
scaled.
