I have just compiled in the kernel (not as a > module) the option powernow-k7 (I have a Athlon XP-M). > So, I can't do modprobe powernow-k7... You have one of the 32bit models of the athlon64. (Basically a crippled athlon64) (See proc/cpuinfo..) cpu family : 15 I've not heard reports of whether powernow-k8 works or not on these cpu's, but it should if the cpu reports the powernow capability bits. My suspicion is that for some reason, your cpu is booting at a low speed. Are there any powernow/power management settings in the BIOS that change this ? Dave
