Mine says AMIBIOS 08.00.09, Build Date 02/09/04. Don't know why that looks totally different from yours. I've found it in a submenu under "Advanced Configuration" in the BIOS setup screen IIRC. You need to enable ACPI, else the cpufreq directory (/sys/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/) stays empty. I'm using "acpi_sleep=s3_bios" in my kernel command line. I've never tried other values, however (and suspend doesn't work). > After that the throttling works fine, though I haven't been able to > reduce the fan speed (haven't had time to look into that yet). I can control the cpu fan only (which is the loudest anyway). I'm doing that with a small user space script. While the cpu isn't busy, the fan stays off most of the time (below 33�C) and runs on lowest speed the remaining time. Heike
