[Bug 364156] Re: powernow-k8: BIOS does not provide ACPI -PSS objects in a way that Linux understands

[Stefan Bader]

If one is hibernate, the other likely is suspend (google translate thinks pause, so I guess I am close ;)) But I believe all this is not related to that module message. The module itself is used for cpu powersaving issues (frequency scaling). So the effects are that your CPU's run at full speed all the time. I once had another computer where I had to enable an option in the bios to get this).
The reboot issue might be solved with reboot=b or reboot=a either on the grub command line or in /boot/grub/menu.lst
The suspend/hibernate problem would be another case and will need more information (does the computer go into suspend or hibernate, does the fan stop and the machine seems off or does it have problems there?). But I wonder whether this would be better reported as a new bug with a better matching description. Like "[Jaunty] <laptop vendor and model> fails to suspend/hibernate".
