This seems to be related to the fact that the FSB is detected as 100MHz instead of the 200MHz that it is supposed to be. The problem is that a busratio cap of 30 means that the CPU can only run at 3.0GHz. Many new Phenom processors are running at least at 3.0GHZ, so this is an issue. I can get beyond this by manually setting the FSB to 200MHz at boot with "FSB=200000000" which makes the busratio correctly identified at 15. If I then set my multiplier in the BIOS to higher than 15, it works just fine. I'm wondering if we can change the busfreq value in the diff file you posted to double it. This has been an issue in all of the Voodoo based kernels. If we can get this to work right, I believe everyone with an AMD processor higher than 3.0 GHz will thank you.
