Thanks for testing!

That was your CPU, right:

vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 15
model : 36
model name : AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MT-40
stepping : 2

?

If so, then the C1E idle line above shouldn't appear. Can you check that
around line 698 in <arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c> you have the following:

const int amd_erratum_400[] =
AMD_OSVW_ERRATUM(1, AMD_MODEL_RANGE(0xf, 0x41, 0x2, 0xff, 0xf),
AMD_MODEL_RANGE(0x10, 0x2, 0x1, 0xff, 0xf));

On your machine, you should be using the default_idle routine instead,
since you don't have C1E.

Thanks.
