Hmm, all people, who do have the problem and who provided cpu information, seem
to have family 16 (0x10, 10h) AMD processors.  You have a family 15 one.  Maybe
it's that, maybe not.

BTW, here is my info:
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor (3013.73-MHz K8-class CPU)
  Origin = "AuthenticAMD"  Id = 0x100f62  Stepping = 2

Features=0x178bfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,HTT>
  Features2=0x802009<SSE3,MON,CX16,POPCNT>
  AMD Features=0xee500800<SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,FFXSR,Page1GB,RDTSCP,LM,3DNow!+,3DNow!>
  AMD
Features2=0x37ff<LAHF,CMP,SVM,ExtAPIC,CR8,ABM,SSE4A,MAS,Prefetch,OSVW,IBS,SKINIT,WDT>
  TSC: P-state invariant
