similar to: Status of Xen-Powermanagement-Support

Hi; While using xen-3.0.2 with 2.6.16.28 kernel CPU (Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz) temprature is inreasing up to 104 C (/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points reports 105 C is critical for CPU) while idle or no domU working with very low system load, and if i start to use domU, sometimes system freezes or reboots for heat. But the same kernel just without Xen works normally 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

With some progress in PowerManagement support (there's a patch nearly done for reading the P-tables, written mostly by xexaxo, derived from thunderbirds nvclock, with 0x40 adjustments from myself) in my opinion it's time to think about the user aspect of this. My personal idea for GPU scaling was similar to that of CPU scaling in appearance eventually. When you look at the cpufreq-applet

These two patches provide the neccessary infrastructure changes for the processor-passthru driver [www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg34655.html] to properly function. The first one is quite easy - we just modprobe the processor-passthru driver. The second allows it to work under AMD machines by exposing the PM RDMSR to dom0. It has been tested with 2.6.32 kernel as well to make sure it does

Hello everybody! Since the update from 6.2-STABLE to 7.0 I'm encountering problems with the temperature of my Thinkpad X60s. Under heavy load, e.g., make builworld or compile gcc or... I get the following output in /var/log/messages: Dec 29 01:53:13 delta1 root: WARNING: system temperature too high, shutting down soon! Dec 29 01:53:13 delta1 syslogd: /dev/:0: No such file or directory Dec 29

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

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 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

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

Xen Community: As many of you are aware, the Xen 4.0 hypervisor is due to ship tomorrow (shhhh, don''t tell anyone) and I wanted to get submissions underway for Xen 4.1 features. I have updated the Roadmap Wiki page (http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenRoadMap) with a new section for Xen 4.1 features to be added. Feel free to add your ideas or send me your features and I will update the

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

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

Currently cpufreq and xenpm are out of sync. Fix cpufreq reporting of if turbo mode is enabled or not. Fix xenpm to not decode for tristate, but a boolean.
