Re: speedstep-centrino won't load [Fxd]

the "no such device" means the kernel loaded the module but couldn't find any hardware to match the module - in this case you didn't have a processor supported by the "centrino" cpufreq module

He's got a Pentium M, it should be supported...

Well i read some other forums & found out that the Pentium M 725 & up are not supported by the centrino module. there is a patch called speedspet-centrino-dothan-3 which fixed the problem.i think the module works better than the acpi one.
