It is sounding like this is likely a BIOS issue, there are a number of
contributers here reporting problems solved when updating theirs. I
will therefore close this one off Invalid. If any of you have the
latest BIOS and are still seeing issues please reopen this bug by moving
it to New.
Can sort of disregard last comment. I updated my bios and everything
seems to work right now. I originally thought that updating the bios was
a rather large action to take for something that worked before, but mobo
manufacturers have made it easier these days to update the bios. Can do
it off of a
I got this error trying to boot from live usb on jaunty beta...
I have an Asus M4A79 mobo with a phenom2 940. Turning on Cool n Quiet
got rid of the error, but the live session would not boot.
8.10 kernel works fine with CnQ disabled or enabled and all 4 cores

Error on Boot:
One last feedback from me: At least on my motherboard (Asrock
A770Crossfire) the reason for the missing _PSS tables is solved:
The BIOS disables C'n'Q *silently* (even when the setting is set to
Enabled) if memory modules from a certain vendor are used. In my case
it were those:
A-Data
Except my fan isn't going off all the time like described in that
report. In fact, it hardly ever goes beyond minimal.

Well, i've entered the following bug in the kernel bug tracker:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12948
It was confirmed that the Asrock BIOS doesn't contained the required
_PSS tables - which is an error on their part - nothing Linux can do
about. The _PSS tables are needed for
I'm seeing the same on Jaunty Kernel version 2.6.28-11-generic since i

@Kyle: I have this same mobo but it shipped with AMIBIOS version 0802.
I saw the _PSS error until I enabled the AMD Cool'n'Quiet Function in
the BIOS. While the printed manual isn't helpful, the built-in BIOS
help specifically says that this enables generation of ACPI _PSS objects

@Kyle -- its not clear that the commit you reference there will have any
effect on the message that @Shaved is seeing. That commit is an
improvement in the way that the driver calculates a latency calculation.
The check that triggers the error above seems to be unchanged before and
after this

Thanks Kyle, given the choice between:
a) Being patient and waiting for 2.6.29-RC5 to come down the line and
b) Potentially hosing an otherwise well working system with a BIOS update
filled with dire warnings about its dangers
I'll take option A. Thanks for looking into this though!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to improve Ubuntu.
acpi-support is unrelated to this problem; reassigning to the kernel.
The error message is related to a change in how the CPU frequency
drivers are built into the kernel, and is probably harmless, but in that

Have you tried the ASUS M3A78-T BIOS 0802 BIOS dated January 14, 2009 on
ASUS' support site? it has this specific fix:

ACC stands for Advanced Clock Calibration and would fall under the
