Error on loading speedstep-centrino or acpi-cpufreq on Arch

toorlv · 2009-11-12 15:15:19

Arch Linux i686, fresh install. 2.6.31 kernel (i also tried other kernels like ZEN).
Computer: Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO L7300
On Ubuntu Karmic/Jaunty all works fine. It uses centrino driver (cpufreq-info).
BIOS is up to date -- i also checked it's settings (tried 'Restore Defaults'), but didn't found anything that is related to SpeedStep or ACPI Tables..

--- ADDED ---
I found a patch for kernel, but i don't know how to compile kernel with it. http://localhost.ruhr.de/~stefan/acerTM … an-3.patch
How can I do it? Maybe I can recompile only speedstep-centrino module, not all kernel? It takes about 2 hours..

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

When I modprobe p4-clockmod, dmesg says:

p4-clockmod: Warning: Pentium M detected. The
acpi_cpufreq module offers voltage scaling in addition of frequency
scaling. You should use that instead of p4-clockmod, if possible.

When using p4-clockmod, my 1.73GHZ will be limited to 600MHz, so instead I try to modprobe acpi-cpufreq, but it gives an error:

Are you sure your Processor is a Pentium M? Every site I found about that particular notebook says it has a Celeron M. However, if that works on Ubuntu Karmic, what modules are loaded?

Yes, of course a pentium M. I just changed it after i buyed my notebook.

UP.
I tried this patch which i mentioned @ first post, but it doesn't work.. Still can't find solution..

thn81 · 2009-11-13 20:03:39

Try this patch instead:

I'm experiencing the same.
well dont forget if you want more than 600MHz you just need to 'modprobe -r p4-clockmod'

this is actually in the bugtracker
http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do= … k_id=17107

I am actually going to recompile speedstep-centrino and try it somehow

also, check this

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=32767

this is, try to use the 'acpi-cpufreq' module instead
