I have been working with Mr. Bruno for few days, and finally PowerNow! works with no hanging issues at all, I used the new powernow.c provided by Bruno attached.

Just to settle mess in my brains: it fixes the co-existence of powernow thing in cpufreq driver and powerd?

It introduce a workaround for one hardware bug, and it support now more AMD processors. So yes, this should fix hangs if powerd is activated.

Note that people reported another problems but with acpi_throttle, which happens to be a complete different problem. my best guess for now is that the lapic timer is stopped when the processor is throttled, and desactivating apic will help to see if that guess is correct.
