>Description:
The following sentence in the FAQ seems to be missing a word or should be rephrased around the word "causes": 

"There is a known problem when enabling &intel; Enhanced SpeedStep from the BIOS causes the kernel to start printing <errorname>calcru</errorname> messages like this:"

I have attached three suggestions on how to make the sentence more clear.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the sentence and try to make sense of it as it is. 
>Fix:
Apply one of the following diffs to make the sentence more complete/understandable.
