Hi,
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook.
I'm running a Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz CPU.
I noticed during boot up, I get an error that can be reproduced when I
try and start up the cpuspeed service.
# /etc/init.d/cpuspeed start
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko):
No such device
I've noticed that Fedora doesn't include the speedstep-centrino.ko
module. Normally it would be located in:
/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/
Would this be the issue?
There's a few bugs in Bugzilla if you search for acpi_cpufreq in Summary.
This bug prevents the CPU from stepping down the lower speed (thus
running all the time at the full speed).
Regards,
Julian
Hm, thats a little strange. Probably Dave can better answer this as it's
a kernel matter, but if this driver is by default in the upstream kernel
i don't see a reason why i shouldn't be built except if it has some
serious know issues.
Read ya, Phil
