Re: [PATCH] Kconfig powernow-k8 driver should depend on ACPI P-States driver

Hello,

Below is a one line patch to possibly fix this bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178585
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8075

If the kernel is configured with:

CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=y
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=m

Which is currently an allowed configuration, the powernow-k8 driver on
an SMP system will fail with a warning like:

NAK. I have an Athlon X2 and it works for me w/o the P states driver compiled
in.

YOu probably should ask the vendor to fix the bios or simply compile in the p
states driver additionally w/o forcing the user to do it.

Maybe you want to give a hint in the p states driver help text?
