Bug Description
Binary package hint: powernowd
I can't get powernowd to work -- can't even insert the kernel module:
# modprobe powernow-k8
FATAL: Error inserting powernow_k8 (/lib/modules/
Here's the tail of /var/log/messages:
Apr 30 20:23:37 beavis2 kernel: [ 7780.188893] powernow-k8: Processor cpuid 70ff1 not supported
