Comment 4 for bug 32070

So, I can't get access to the Dual Core Dual CPU machine. But if I boot beta2 live dapper on a Dual CPU machine... Powernowd still loads, but doesn't seem to be very happy.

If I try to stop it with
/etc/init.d/powerdnow stop

it won't die

If I try to kill it using
kill 6057

I get this error on the console:
  316.415412] powernowd[6057]: segfault at 0000000000500000 rip 00002aaaaac2bc23 rsp 00007fffffb83700 error 4

I tried it again and got similar results:
[ 352.372750] powernowd[7042]: segfault at 0000000000500000 rip 00002aaaaac2bc23 rsp 00007fffff83efa0 error 4

Not sure if that's terribly helpful. It *did* appear to power down the cpu a little according to /proc/cpuinfo. I had been under the assumption that opteron chips didn't have this ability. But perhaps it was just that the older live CDs never loaded powernowd on an opteron
