[Bug 364156] Re: powernow-k8: BIOS does not provide ACPI -PSS objects in a way that Linux understands

[Tom Pringle]

Hi David,

I had followed some instructions on the web which required building the DSDT
into kernel.  I'll try the approach you suggest here this evening.

I'll try to get you more details on some of the other machines where I
observe this problem on the weekend.

Thanks,
Tom
