Hi,
I have this patch: cpufreq-LINUX_2_4-20031212.tar.bz2
It won't patch cleanly onto a stock kernel.org 2.4.22 kernel-source.

Before I get any further, can someone verify that this patch is for 2.4.22, or should I be using 2.4.23(, or something else?)?

thanks!

Hey Paul-

I'm about 95% certain that patch isn't for 2.4.22... it's going to either be for 2.4.23 or for 2.4.24-pre1. My money is on 2.4.23.

However... if you want CPU Frequency support, your best bet is going to be with the 2.6.0-test series of kernels.. IMHO, there's no good reason to stick with 2.4.x. :-)

I jumped to 2.6.0-test when I couldn't get CPUFreq working with a kernel that worked with the low latency patch. I haven't looked back.

Paul: I don't remember exactly when the merge to 2.4.23 was done (look at the cpufreq archive, or use cvs log facility), but I think that cpufreq-LINUX_2_4-20031208.tar.bz2 is against 2.4.22.

You win ;)

cpufreq-LINUX_2_4-20031215.tar.gz <-- this patch applied cleanly to a stock 2.4.23- kernel.

I got it here: ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/cpufreq/

I should be OK now, thanks!
