Hi, I recently subscribed to xen-users asking about a powernow-k8 problem, but in the meantime I am not sure if the users-list was the right place for it. So I decided to repeat my question here ;-) My current config is attached. --- snip --- Hi, I recently installed Xen on my AMD64 for my first time and so far, everything seems to work pretty fine. :-) I tried to enable cpu frequency

Hi, I recently installed Xen on my AMD64 for my first time and so far, everything seems to work pretty fine. :-) I tried to enable cpu frequency support. After booting, I get the following message in Dom0-dmesg: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version 1.60.0) powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects I tried to find answers in the mailing-list archive and

Hello I'm building a router/proxy/firewall, the default governor is ondemand, but for this application, what governor is best suited? (for example conservative?) Thanks at all! Best regards

Sorry to have so many questions but I seem to have quite a few mini problems with my first Xen setup. My xen server works fine with Powernow on the standard Kernel but with the Xen kernel it fails. Does anyone know why? Details below. With Standard Kernel powernow-k8: Found 2 Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8350 processors (8 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) powernow-k8: 0 : fid 0x0

Currently, enable/disable turbo mode on AMD is broken: $ xenpm enable-turbo-mode 0 <-- works and proper CPU MSR bit is set $ xenpm enable-turbo-mode 1 <-- silently broken, MSR bit not set Since ->turbo is per policy, when user requests to enable/disable turbo mode, we need to set the bit in all of the ->cpus that this policy affects. --- xen/arch/x86/acpi/cpufreq/powernow.c | 2

Enable cpufreq support in Xen for AMD Operton processors by: 1) Allowing the PowerNow! driver in dom0 to write to the PowerNow! MSRs. 2) Adding the cpufreq notifier chain to time-xen.c in dom0. On a frequency change, a platform hypercall is performed to scale the frequency multiplier in the hypervisor. 3) Adding a platform hypercall to the hypervisor the scale the frequency multiplier and reset

c/s 20361:51b031b0737e removed the writing of struct processor_performance''s shared_cpu_map member, but the powernow driver still has code to read it (though presumably that code path can''t be taken on actual hardware supported by the powernow driver). Remove the use of the field along with the field itself. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> ---

I just upgraded my first Xen guest to the latest 5.2 kernel (2.6.18- 92.1.13.el5xen) and got a kernel error on reboot: powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects No problems seen yet. I would think that the guest should not try to do any powernow stuff at all. Has anyone else noticed this? Kai -- Kai Sch?tzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services:

Hi I have a compaq R4000 with the 2.4GIG AMD 64 bit. 4000+ rated. proc cpuinfo reports cpu Mhz as 997.481 Do I have to run the 64 bit version to have things run correctly? I just have the normal 4.2 loaded at this time. The laptop seems slow for 4000+ as reflected by the cpu Mhz also. Any thoughts on running the 32 bit version of 4.2 vs the 64 bit version of 4.2?

I had my eye on the Tyan dual-Opteron mobos for awhile. I tried to find a posting *anywhere* sharing experiences with these boards under Linux. No such luck. So placing myself under the heading "Where Angles Fear to Tread," I went ahead and built a system anyway. Here's what I've learned. The specs: Tyan Thunder K8SE S2892, BIOS 1.01 2x Opteron 270, 2Ghz Dual-Core, retail

Hello, I have a new laptop (Core duo 2) and I plan to run Xen on it (using Windows in a DomU). The laptop won''t be connected to a power plug all the time. So it would be nice to have the possibility to set the CPU frequency to a lower value to save some power. I only found the patch by Matt Yourst for AMD k8 processors

Hi! I would like to know the status of the frequency scaling in XEN. I found a web site saying that XEN doesn’t work with frequency scaling, at the other hand I found some fixes for powernow-k8 to get rid of some messages. I have an AMD64. powerno-k8 works find with non-XEN kernels, but with XEN-kernels I get the error: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ processors

Could anyone summarize what the support status of cpu frequency changes is at present. I don''t seem to recall generic changes to the hpyervisor in that respect, but the linux tree has fairly extensive changes to the powernow-k8 driver (which would make sense to me only if all other cpufreq drivers are fully supported now, too). Thanks, Jan
