is this from boot or 'modprobe acpi-cpufreq'?
From modprobe! As you have
seen I prefer start the service cpuspeed by
hand in a terminal!

remove 'debug' from kernel command line.
Why? Some particolar reason? I
like then linux talks to me! ;)

if i read this right, you have 8 steps of cpu clock, but not 'speedstep'.
not familiar with 'speedstep'. suggest you use *linux google'
That's right!
I found different things about Celeron!
Here the guy says that it worked:

but here:

It gives me no hopes!!! :(
I remember it worked at installing time, I'm sure!
I'd like to hear from some "guru", that it changed by purpouse, so I can
give up and "rest in peace"! ;)
Thanks a lot for your help,mate!
