Error on loading speedstep-centrino with new Kernel-2.6.23 [SOLVED]

Hello,

Since the Kernel-2.6.23 upgrade, I have the following error on loading the speedstep-centrino
so I can't change the proc frequency.

FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino (/lib/modules/2.6.23-ARCH/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko): No such device

Is anybody have this same error ?

If I remember correctly I came across this with my laptop some time ago. Try the acpi-cpufreq module instead.

Hi tuxom,
if I remember correctly this module is deprecated; you can load acpi-cpufreq instead
I have a centrino laptop and I don't have any problem

Ran in this too, thanks for the solution.
Maybe this is worth a sticky?
Arch is a very good laptop distro because it is very fast IMO, now if I only could get suspend and hibernate to work like I had it in Gentoo (another excellent distro). My HP laptop is a bitch with these things with the ATI card and so... .

Bye, signor_rossi.

Signor_rossi, I have an HP nc8430, Suspend to RAM is working for the first time using 2.6.23.  It doesn't work for you?

Re: Error on loading speedstep-centrino with new Kernel-2.6.23 [SOLVED]

Suspend to ram AND acpi-cpufreq is a no go for me.

It appears to work, but after coming out of suspend I get this error:

ACPI Error (psloop-0136): Found unknown opcode 17 at AML address f08763c3 offset 0, ignoring [20070126]
ACPI Error (psargs-0355): [DBþÿ] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_PR_.CPU1._PCT] (Node dfff23c0), AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI Exception (processor_perflib-0170): AE_NOT_FOUND, Evaluating _PCT [20070126]

And then acpi-cpufreq only controls one processor.  The other proc is stuck at halfway between full performance and minimal.

Independently, suspend and acpi-cpufreq work fine.

Unfortunately not It at least goes into suspend now, which it didn't before, but it still doesn't wake up.
I even tried opensuse today, but there also fglrx and suspend 2 ram is a no go. nx8220 is still a single core centrino, I only would like to know what is missing in arch kernels that my custom gentoo kernel had (crucial acpi-ide support IS enabled and the log isn't helpful at all). And this matter is very time consuming to debug.

Bye, signor_rossi.

Edit: It seems fglrx is not the culprit. I unloaded it and suspended the machine and it didn't resume again, this really looks like when ide-acpi was not enabled/present in Gentoo.
