dmesg |grep powernow [ 1.132134] [Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: No compatible ACPI _PSS objects found. [ 1.132134] [Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: First, make sure Cool'N'Quiet is enabled in the BIOS. [ 1.132134] [Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: If that doesn't help, try upgrading your BIOS.
This is what I am getting when trying to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04. I have been looking in many places but only found this old bug report that is in the same area. I have tried to boot 14.10 which works fine, than 15.04 which shows the same message but jumps past it and loads Ubuntu. So does 15.10. As soon as I try 16.04.2 The message is the last screen that is loaded. The machine then freezes and has to be rebooted. I hope I am not stuck with the older Ubuntu versions, since 8.04 everything just worked fine so I assume something in the ACPI polling has changed. I attached the output from dmidecode so that the configuration of the machine should be complete. Can anyone help, please? ** Attachment added: "dmidecode.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/398109/+attachment/4900381/+files/dmidecode.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398109 Title: powernow-k8: Your BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSS objects in a way that Linux understands To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/398109/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
