Hi,

What option did you set to get pnp messages? acpi=debug?
No, just default dmesg on debian squeeze.
So, updated remaining minor issues for the m57sli:
* missing power state: prop. BIOS: powernow-k8: 4 : fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0x10 coreboot: powernow-k8: ph2 null fid transition 0x11
I think that this is not directly M57SLI related. My assumption is, that there is some "logical" error in the PowerNow generator which is used to generate the P-states on m57sli. I've already looked at the code, and the BKDG, but not in the detail which would be necessary to find and fix the mistake.
* hda: UDMA/33 compared to UDMA/66 with prop. BIOS
My suggestion would be to open up a new ML-thread according to this problem. It should be "easy" to fix, and I think that it has nothing to do with the DMA modes itself, but with the "88pin-wire-cable-bit" (but I don't know if it's for real a bit which needs to be set). I also tried to investigate that problem, but ran out of time the evening I started. (check kernel ide-drivers amd7xxx.c (or similar) to find out what's going on there).
