I switched my config from up to smp support with 2 processors.
trying to modprobe powernow-k7 gives me now:
"
cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k7
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
cpufreq-core: no CPU initialized for driver powernow-k7
cpufreq-core: unregistering CPU 0
"
any ideas?
with kind regards

powernow-k7 doesn't support SMP.
The ubuntu folks tried to make single CPUs work with a SMP kernel,
but it still didn't work out aparently. The only K7's with powernow
aren't SMP capable anyway iirc.

ATM, theres a work around for that. -386 kernels don't have smp enabled, and
powernow-k7 works fine for them. So if you're using Ubuntu, and absolutely
need powernow-k7 to work, don't use the -k7 kernel, use the -386 kernel.
