Leann: The problem is not with that kernel, the problem is with powernowd not loading powernow-k8 because its script at /usr/share/powernowd/cpu-detect.sh is setup only for k8 processors with family 15. I've filed a separate bug report with included patch to enable Phenom and newer mobile Turion chips to function. The 2.6.27 kernel that's been released for Intrepid so far works with that patch and allows these processors to function properly.
Bug is located here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powernowd/+bug/261608 For my mobile Turion (family 17) the patch enables the powernow module without the need to install additional packages. For Hardy, the script should work for Phenom, but the kernel module will not support these Turion chips according to my tests. If you have such a module, that patch will make powernowd load the module for your chip and fail, causing Ubuntu to hang at boot. Summary: Hardy's kernel works with Phenom but needs a minor patch in powernowd's script to load the module. Intrepid supports Phenom and the new Turion chips, but needs a similar patch. In both cases no additional packages need to be installed. -- No cool n' quiet for amd phenom processors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
