You mean the module speedstep-centrino is deprecated now, and I should use
acpi_cpufreqon any Pentium M laptop? Even if my kernel is 2.6.17?No. speedstep centrino is deprated only in 2.6.20 onwards. 2.6.17 acpi-cpufreq or speedstep-centrino any one of them can work

Depending on what your BIOS ACPI support has. So, please try both acpi-cpufreq
andspeedstep_centrino(withSPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPIenabled in
config).

If both of them does not work, please go ahead and open a bug at bugme.osdl.org
under ACPI related bugs. We can track the issue down systematically

Also, if none of those two drivers work, it will be interesting to

I am currently using acpi-cpufreq, which seems to work fine. But I thought speedstep-centrino was more specific and suited to Centrino processors, that's why I was quite concerned about that failure when trying to load the module.
So, just a misunderstanding about those two drivers... sorry!
Thank you,
