Thanks, Andreas. > So I have done some tests with this code - based on kernel > version 2.6.23. I have tested it on Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64, > Turion X2 and some other parts > (e.g.family 0x10) and with different cpufreq governors. > I did not observe any problems with this driver update. > Behaviour is the same as before. I've also been running it on my Turion X2 laptop for a few weeks without issues. It doesn't touch the legacy code path at all. > So please consider to add the attached patch for 2.6.24. > Patch is against current Linus' git tree. This means the patch > "[CPUFREQ] Support different families in fid/did to frequency > conversion" which is contained in the cpufreq.git should > be ommitted. The issue fixed with that patch is solved > with this driver update, too. Either patch is acceptable; I think they're fundamentally identical anyway. -Mark Langsdorf Operating System Research Center AMD - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
