Hello,
i just wanted to give some feedback on the upgrade i did today.
First of all i had a little trouble as my dist-upgrade didn't installed any kernel package so i had to do it manually but it is not a problem.

Anyway i wanted to give some feedback on problems that occured, nothing to really worry of :
- The frequence scaling on my amd64 doesn't work, i have this output from dmesg :
[ 30.541533] pnp: PnPACPI: unknown resource type 7
[ 30.541535] pnp: PnPACPI: METHOD_NAME__CRS failure for PNP0c02
[ 30.541681] pnp: PnPACPI: unknown resource type 7
[ 30.541682] pnp: PnPACPI: METHOD_NAME__CRS failure for PNP0c02
[ 30.541775] pnp: PnPACPI: unknown resource type 7
[ 30.541777] pnp: PnPACPI: METHOD_NAME__CRS failure for PNP0303
[ 30.542005] pnp: PnPACPI: unknown resource type 7
[ 30.542007] pnp: PnPACPI: METHOD_NAME__CRS failure for PNP0c02
[ 30.542741] pnp: PnPACPI: unknown resource type 7
[ 30.542742] pnp: PnPACPI: METHOD_NAME__CRS failure for PNP0501
[ 30.543280] pnp: PnPACPI: unknown resource type 7
[ 30.543281] pnp: PnPACPI: METHOD_NAME__CRS failure for PNP0501
[ 30.543552] pnp: PnPACPI: unknown resource type 7
[ 30.543554] pnp: PnPACPI: METHOD_NAME__CRS failure for PNP0c01
[ 30.544376] pnp: PnP ACPI: found 0 devices
[ 30.544389] PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing
[ 30.544392] PCI: If a device doesn't work, try "pci=routeirq". If it helps,
post a report

at the beggining of the boot process and at the end of the dmesg i got this :

[ 68.759375] powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version 1.50.4)
[ 68.759694] powernow-k8: MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure

which must explain why it doesn't work.

If i am also unable to update my grub so i have to manually edit an old entry to boot my dapper.
When i run grub-install /dev/hda ( which is the drive i boot from whereas my ubuntu root partition is /dev/sdb1 ), grub tells this
sudo grub-install /dev/hda
/dev/sdb1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

Apart from that pretty all is working like a charm.
Thanx to the ubuntu developpers and all the community for the great stuff :)

I 'll think of making a bug report to malone for the kernel problem maybe.

Good night to everyone

Interesting. I've got an AMD processor too and I've got enough APIC errors to kill a horse on my dmesg. I'm also having a hard time getting my processor to scale all the way up. It won't go beyond 1 Ghz no matter how hard I push the system.

But, this is all to be expected.

I've also noticed Nautilus is really flaky if you use it for anything more than email.
