K8V-MX uses AMI BIOS, right? Some Linux kernels failes to activate ACPI for AMI BIOS and, then, powernow-k8 reports 'no PSB ...". Please check syslog whether ACPI is working well. This happens also on my 939S56-M (Asrock, AMI bios) and Athlon64 3200+ (Winchester core), Fedora Core 5, and ASUS A8N-VM CSM (see <http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=63378>) etc. Hope this helps, Hideki. -- Hideki Kato <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
