powernow-k8: transition frequency failed

[Jay Wineinger <jay.wineinger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My kern.log is getting spammed with about 20 "powernow-k8: transition
frequency failed" messages per second. Is there a fix for this?  I've
got a AMD Phenom II X6 1055T (2.8GHz).

thanks!
Jay


Here is some info about my system. I'm happy to provide more, I just
don't know what would be useful.  Ubuntu 11.10 system.
