This typically means the BIOS tables that list the est states are missing, or that the chip lacks est completely. Can you attach the output of /proc/cpuinfo and dmesg ? The verbose error message should be silent in my work-in-progress update kernel. > 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? It's built-in. We have a bunch of built-ins that get their init routines called one by one, until one 'sticks'. If we get all the way to userspace and we still haven't got a working cpufreq driver, we try acpi-cpufreq as a last resort. > 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).
