hello,
i’ve reported a weird ‘problem’. I own the same laptop as you do, tho my debian lenny says the cpu has only one single core, as shown bye the dmesg command:
dmesg | grep powernow
[ 16.748010] powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50 processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
[ 16.748010] powernow-k8: 0 : fid 0×8 (1600 MHz), vid 0×13
[ 16.748010] powernow-k8: 1 : fid 0×0 (800 MHz), vid 0x1e

i notice tho, that there’s a 0 and a 1, but cpuinfo doesn’t inform about the two cores either:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 15
model : 72
model name : AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 800.000
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme …

As you can see there is no “cpu_cores: 2″ line there, unlike your ‘cpuinfo’ file capture.
any ideas?
thank you! : D

Also i am using 2.6.23 kernel (debian) but i was unable to actually see the event when you put in the card can you see the content of the card when you plug it in if so please write which models are loaded and what excatly you do for it to work .
