First of all, if I'm reading your messages correctly, you've got two
drivers trying to perform CPU power management at the same time? You
should probably remove or disable to frkit powernow driver. I think you
might as well remove it as I believe it only supports single processor
systems and you have two processors.
Both drivers seemed to be having issues with the ACPI _PSS object.
Usually when I see problems like this it is due to one of two things.
1 - Enhanced SpeedStep has not been enabled in the BIOS setup.
2 - The BIOS is not returning valid _PSS objects.
The first is easy to check for.
The second usually requires dumping the ACPI tables with a utility like
iasl and then inspecting the output to see what the _PSS definitions
look like. Unfortunately, you need to know something about what they are
supposed to look like in order to tell what, if anything, is wrong with
them.
What kind of system do you have?
Thanks,
Mark

my processor is supported but there is something missing which the ON
consolidated hasn't included yet. Does anyone have a solution to this?
