I just updated my kernel to 2.6.16.1-7, but now my CPU scaling doesn't work anymore.
root@vanessa ~# modprobe cpufreq_userspace
root@vanessa ~# modprobe speedstep_centrino
FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino (/lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
and the last line of dmesg:
speedstep_centrino: Unknown symbol acpi_processor_preregister_performance
Any ideas? Looks like this is an error in the speedstep_centrino module.. bit. As far as I know I hadn't this error with the -6 kernel package..
All you got to do, is tell the story right...

same here

removed acpi patch from kernel, seems it breaks speedstep

Works with the -8 kernel package release (and new powernowd) again

did you anything else except update your kernel version? because the problem isn't gone away here
[cagnulein@cagnulein ~]$ sudo modprobe speedstep_centrino

Please make sure that:
- You are running a v2.6.7 kernel or later
- That you have sysfs mounted /sys
- That you have the core cpufreq and cpufreq-userspace
modules loaded into your kernel
- That you have the cpufreq driver for your cpu loaded,
(for example: powernow-k7), and that it works. Check
'dmesg' for errors.
If all of the above are true, and you still have problems,
please email the author: clemej@alum.rpi.edu

it includes the latest cpufreq from kernel.org, but that hasn't caused any trouble yet.
my question is has this module ever loaded on your pc?
Offline
never because i moved to arch 4 days ago
so which modules shall i use?
Thanks.

do you have a p4 or a centrino?
there are some modules:
/lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/
you have to try by hand which is the right for you.

Shouldnt matter,
speedstep_centrino: Unknown symbol acpi_processor_preregister_performance
unknown symbols should not arise, no matter whether the user has that hardware or not. If the user doesnt have speedstep_centrino, it would spit, no such device.

i've tried all and the only that it works is p4-clockmod, but when i start powernowd it show me wrongs step:
powernowd: PowerNow Daemon v0.97, (c) 2003-2006 John Clemens
powernowd: Found 1 scalable unit: -- 1 'CPU' per scalable unit
powernowd: cpu0: 75Mhz - 600Mhz (8 steps)
same thing with cpufreqd...
