Please report this to the Linux ACPI maintainers and complain to your BIOS vendor. Just read what the message says: it is not a kernel bug but simply your BIOS is missing the _PSS objects on which powernow-k8 relies. I'm pretty sure you had similar message in earlier kernels but it was a simple warning then. Is it possible to upgrade your BIOS? If you're lucky, it might've been fixed :). -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
