[elrepo] Announcement: updated kmod-powernow-k8 testing release

[Akemi Yagi]

Announcing the release of the updated kmod-powernow-k8 package in the
elrepo-testing repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-powernow-k8

This package provides a patched powernow-k8.ko module allowing for
per-core power control on newer AMD processors.

It has been provided as a result of a bugzilla report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502397

and is based on the code in kernel-2.6.194.el5.

It is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range of
releases of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one
specific build.

NOTE1: The existing package 0.0-2 was built for el5.3 (kernel
2.6.18-128) and is known to work for newer releases including el5.5.

NOTE2: Due to the appearance of a bug in el5.5, *updating* of kmod
packages is broken with el5.5.

Depending whether the updated
module-init-tools-3.3-0.pre3.1.60.el5.elrepo package has already been
installed, it may be necessary for users of el5.5 to *install* this
package by:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo-testing install kmod-powernow-k8

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
