Comment 52 for bug 89746

I have an HP Pavilion dv9398eu, amd turion64 x2 and I got the exactly same problem. I have also the latest BIOS installed. (jully 2007). What I found interesting is that I have a friend that have "exactly" the same computer but with an intel processor instead and doesn't got the problem. I found also on the net (http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/6340) that there have been a lot of issues on the HP bios/Amd configuration. So is that a bug in the HP bios or is that a bug in the linux kernel or in the AMD processor? Another question I ask myself is why apic woks under vista, did they got a patch? I asked HP and they said, of course, that "HP does not recommend you to change the Operating system on your notebook". Asking about the bug, the response was "Hence we do not have any information or tested information on this"... Puting some pressure on HP could be good if the bug is actualy in the bios!
