I have tried several values for smi_cmd and smi_port, without success, also changing speedstep modes on bios, with same result.

Thanks,
Jaime.

Hi,

please try out

modprobe speedstep-smi smi_cmd=0x82 smi_port=0xb2 smi_sig=1

Dominik

also doesnt work ;(

Any more sugestions?

Nobody has any more suggestions?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jaime.

Re-try with said parameters and _different_ BIOS settings. Maybe one such combination actually works... Oh, and the acpi-cpufreq driver does not work on your system, I suppose?

Dominik

I dont know what could be happening, changing bios settings, has no effect. And no, acpi-cpufreq doesnt work :(

Anyway, Thanks for your help.
Jaime.
