Package: xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64 Version: 4.1.3-3 Severity: normal Forwarded: http://bugzilla.xen.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1789 Dear Debian Xen Team, after an upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy I see about ten of these per second filling my system log (about 8 MB/h): Nov 23 00:15:37 acromantula kernel: [ 462.544193] powernow-k8: fid trans failed, fid 0x2, curr 0x0 Nov 23 00:15:37 acromantula

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

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 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

Hi, I have a v2000 compaq laptop. The realtek network and USB on this machine was not working. After adding to grub.conf "acpi=off apci=off noacpi noapic" the v2000 realtek started working and the USB worked fine... Fantastic! So I thought I would try those same options on my r4000 laptop. they had no effect.... This AMD turion 64 4000+ rating laptop is still running SLOWWW...

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

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?

Hey all, Since moving a 4.3 x86-64 install from a single athlon64 to a new dual core AMD cpu it would appear that cool'n quiet is having trouble as is shown in the system logs; powernow-k8: ignoring illegal change in lo freq table-2 to 0x2 powernow-k8: transition frequency failed Any ideas ? Cheers, Brian.

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

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

Hi all, I think I've spotted a few stupidities (bugs) in the current version of kernel-utils (kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80). I'm sure these are all propagated from upstream, but I hope someone could have a quick look to verify this and see if we either can push complaints upwards, or provide local fixes. The kernel-utils package provides several 'kernel-type' functions -

Hello, I recently tried Xen 3.0.3-testing on my 2x Opteron-244 SMP machine. Everything works well exept one detail, which is not unimportant to me: the powernow-k8 driver fails to switch frequencies. A closer look on the powernow-k8 source reveals, that some MSR write operations seem to be without any effect. A rdmsr() before and after the wrmsr() call reveals that no real change on the register

With the third generation Opteron parts, AMD switched to an architecturally defined interface for PowerNow! that uses different MSRs than previous versions. This patch brings the PowerNow! driver up to match the mainline Linux driver and provide support for all AMD parts that use or will use the architectural pstate interface. It also removes a WARN_ON statement in kernel/cpu.c that highlights a

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

I have centos 5.4 on an HP laptop, as below the /proc/cpuinfo shows Dual core, however, there is only 1 processor listed in /proc/cpuinfo.

Hi, I''ve recently installed xen-3.2.1 on my AMD Sempron(tm) machine. It runs gentoo 2.6.21 as dom0 and cpu frequency scaling works in dom0. But inside a domU, cpu frequency scaling is not working. By checking the boot log in domU I found that domU is unable to load the powernow driver: "powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects" I wonder if it is possible to have

After a couple hours last night.... doing a "killall -SIGUSR1 cpuspeed" bumps up the /proc/cpuinfo information for cpu mhz to 2393 Mhz. I did notice a little increase after that. However, the machine is still sluggish. I did a "hdparm -c 1 /dev/hda" but really did not notice any difference. I tried to download fglrx64_6_8_0_8.16.20-1.x86_64.rpm from ati (also 8.20.8) and get
