Support for Turion 64 processors

Have anyone seen any plans for supporting the Turion 64 processor and it's features in upcoming kernel versions?

It has just been shown off at CeBIT in Hannover, and I am probally going to buy one of those beauties ..

Link anyone? ..

Have a nice day.

It's a rebranded AMD Athlon 64 Mobile so it should be well supported by the kernel and current gcc versions. The big question is how much the new chipsets that likely will be introduced along with it (from VIA, nvidia, AMD) differ from current ones.

Yeah, but I would just be really annoyed if my new laptop wouldn't play with linux ..

But I trust Torvalds and co. .. ..

a lot.....;-(

i'ff got an hp pavilion ze2000 amd turion64 and powernowd / dma is not working and time is going to fast (3 seconds in the time of 1)

the most of my chipset is notsupported:

right now, i'm compiling a new kernel from kernel.org (2.6.12-4) i hope this wil fix it..

the 2.6.12.4 kernel only fixed the dma problem, stil no powernow and time stil too fast, anyone?

I recently bought a Compaq Presario V2310, which seems to share many caracteristics of your computer; among other things, I had this scaling problem you report. I wrote a howto accessible here: http://vid.ericmartel.net/linux_on_compaq/. For the scaling problem, passing "noapic" to the kernel at boot did the trick.

Hopes this helps.

the noapic options did the trick for me too, (sorry i didn't report this here. and for the scaling problem. I fould the powernowd script, i just told the script that my turion64 is a athlon64 and that did it for me. thanks for your reply anyway!!

wireless is working fine with ndiswrapper too, the wirreless comes up right after i compiled the module and loaded te module (i allready added my interfaces file (debian) too make this work.

If i press the wireless button i does not come up again i have to do a ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan0 up ifup wlan0

I recently bought a laptop of a similar model, and I'm mucking with the kernel sources right now trying to find the latest and greatest drivers for DMA, the SD card reader, and such. Any hints? Can you share your .config file?

Thanks!

i put in on tonight i'm not on the laptop right now
