I just patched my 2.4.22 with this patch - so i can get centrino speedstep support in 2.4 - but it won't load:

# modprobe speedstep-centrino
/lib/modules/2.4.22-jl9/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/speedstep-centrino.o: 
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including 
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22-jl9/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/speedstep-centrino.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.22-jl9/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/speedstep-centrino.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-jl9/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/speedstep-centrino.o: insmod 
speedstep-centrino failed

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Could you post your /proc/cpuinfo to the cpufreq mailing list at [email protected], please?

TIA,

Thanks. Here's the (most likely) problem: the -jl kernel patch misses a critical update to the speedstep-centrino module which is necessary to get it loaded. Either get the latest cpufreq CVS sources from
http://cvs.arm.linux.org.uk [check for the latest LINUX_2_4 nightly build] and replace -jl9's arch/i386/kernel/speedstep-centrino.c with the version in the linux_2_4 CVS, or contact the -jl maintainer to do the update and release a new -jl kernel.

Yup, that indeed was the problem. I have another question though: the speedfreq daemon that can change the setting according to the load does not work with the 2.4 implementation since it uses sysfs which is only present in the newer 2.5+ kernels.

Now; I've got this nice cpu, i got it recognized... how the hell do I change the frequency?? I'm looking on the net; but I'm not able to find any relevant documentation...

Thanks!

echo -n "0%0%100%userspace" > /proc/cpufreq

to enable the userspace governor, and then you can set the frequency in

/proc/sys/cpu/0/speed

The last one on ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/cpufreq/ dates from Aug 15th. Something wrong there?

Not that I see - looks fine here.

Oh, great. Mozilla's caching or the proxy here is not so smart...

Sorry for the trouble...
