re-opened.

The bug here is that the powernow-k8 driver is asking users to
send-email.  This bug is fixed only when that is gone.

Leo, if you can attach your acpidump, then we can verify
that the ACPI code is correct that the warning in the driver
simply needs to be updated.

I already sent a patch to the cpufreq list which is meant for 2.6.30 inclusion.
I mixed up WARN_ONCE and thought it's doing what the newly introduce
printk_once is doing. Also the message is cleaned up there to:
+static const char ACPI_PSS_BIOS_BUG_MSG[] =
+       KERN_ERR FW_BUG PFX "No compatible ACPI _PSS objects found.\n"
+       KERN_ERR FW_BUG PFX "Try again with latest BIOS.\n";

This is:
[PATCH 4/5] CPUFREQ: powernow-k8 cleanup msg if BIOS does not export ACPI _PSS
of the patch series with subject:
Several ondemand and powernow-k8 cleanups and bugfixes for 2.6.30
