Hmm. What do you use instead of strace then?

Hmm, it appears to work after all (with the Debian 2.6.18-4-amd64).
Not sure what the problem was that led me to that belief.

I have this board and one problem I have is that the 64-bit system
hangs or reboots soon after the CPU load drops after or during reboot,
unless I boot Windows first and let it run a minute or two, then
reboot into Linux. If you use the 64-bit kernel and don't encounter
this problem, let me know your BIOS version.

Are you saying when you reboot the computer (shutdown -r now) in Linux,
your computer doesn't boot up with Cool'n'Quiet?

No. If I turn on the computer and immediately go into Linux, it will
eventually hang or reboot; typically it does not do that as long as
the CPU load is high during booting, but once booting has finished, or
while doing an fsck. This happens before or after the ondemand
governor is activated, and IIRC also if Cool'n'Quiet is disabled
completely. It does not happen if I turn on the computer, boot into
Windows, wait for a minute or so, then boot into Linux (yes, sounds
unlikely, but it is completely repeatable). It also did not happen
with a 32-bit Linux.
