CPU Frequency scaling with Phenom 9850 on an ASUS M3A
I'm having trouble making this work; the software is Ubuntu Linux, latest version (8.04, with all updates). The system reports that no support for CPU Frequency Scaling is available (the applet does show the CPU running at 2.5GHz at all times). I'm guessing it would be a BIOS setting (Ubuntu forums don't report any "usual suspect" related to software), but I can't find anything that sounds to me like relevant --- I enabled the APCI 2.0 (which was disabled by default), I enabled "AMD Cool 'n' Quiet" (which was also disabled by default). Any obscure options that are on some sub-menu of a sub-menu of a sub-menu? Something else I'm missing?? Thanks for any tips, Carlos -- |

Thanks for any tips, I found this was a problem in earlier versions of Ubuntu when I was running the Xen kernel. Are you running any kind of virtualization? Yousuf Khan |

[ ... ] I found this was a problem in earlier versions of Ubuntu when I was running the Xen kernel. Are you running any kind of virtualization? Not right now --- I was planning on installing VirtualBox (as I have on my notebook, where freq. scaling does work fine)... But I have not installed it yet. Thanks, Carlos -- |

I also had a problem with an Asus M2N board a year back which just wouldn't work right in either Windows or Ubuntu. I promptly replaced it with another Asus board with the same chipset maker, and it worked exactly as advertised. Who can tell with these things? Yousuf Khan |

My phenom is fine with Hardy on an M3A, but I did need to put the powernow_k8 module into the powersave configuration file in /etc/power/ (I can't remember the filename (and I'm not near the machine!))
