Hi all, I can't run cpuspeed on my wife's notebook:it's a Acer Aspire 3630 and it use a Intel Celeron CPU. FC8 and kernel 2.6.26.6-49.fc8.
I even can't load the acpi_cpufreq module, this is the error message:
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.26.6-49.fc8/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device
And BTW, what is the correct value I have to in the file /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed in the line DRIVER ?
I put down here some info, please let me know if you need others. Thanks Ale

Thanks, I tried but the problem is still here!

is this correct module for your cpu? 3630 came with pentinum 735a 1.6 ghz or, celron 370/380/390 1.5/1.6/1.7 ghz. - --

Not sure about it! From the /proc/cpu file: model name : Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1.60GHz
But keep in mind that I have the same problem, even with a simple "modprobe acpi".
The strange thing is that I remember that it used to work at the beginning (1,6GHz<->800Mhz); after a while (she was using a lot of gimp) I decided to stop the service. On that machine everything is quite "defalult" (only deafult repositories,no vanilla kernels...).
Any idea will be welcome! ;)
Thanks Alessandro

In the bottom the output you required! Please, have a look at the end in the output of dmesg|grep -i cpu, there is a line that worry me: --------------------------------- *speedstep-ich: Intel(R) SpeedStep(TM) capable processor not found* ------------------------------------ What do you think? Does this cpu really do speed scaling? (maybe, talking about acpi "standards", it's really not capable of!) Standards are good,but I'm starting to hate that notebook's fan! ;)
Thanks Alessandro

see 'checkconfig' below.
from this;

you have module and 'lsmod|grep cpufreq' will show if it is loaded
in your first post, you wrote; +++ FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.26.6-49.fc8/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device +++ is this from boot or 'modprobe acpi-cpufreq'?
for you info, have a good look at 'man modprobe' and note '-C' and '-f'.
chkconfig --list|grep cpuspeed
cpuspeed 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:off 6:off
this shows your services have 'cpuspeed' turned off for 'level 5'. should be _on_.

if i read this right, you have 8 steps of cpu clock, but not 'speedstep'.
not familiar with 'speedstep'. suggest you use *linux google' http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&output=linux&restrict=li... [change 'hl=en' to language of choice if you do not want english]
for line 'all these words:' use "speedstep-ich AND acer", without "". have a read thru.
must leave out and let you play for a while.
time here is 1942 hrs utc. i need to unload some more of my 'treasures' from a 43 foot trailer before 'dark thirty'.
have fun. good luck. later. - --

From modprobe! As you have seen I prefer start the service cpuspeed by hand in a terminal!
Kernel command line: ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb selinux=0 debug acpi=force cpufreq.debug=7
remove 'debug' from kernel command line.
Why? Some particolar reason? I like then linux talks to me! ;)

That's right! I found different things about Celeron! Here the guy says that it worked: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Extensa_5200#CPU_frequency_scaling but here: http://osdir.com/ml/linux.kernel.cpufreq/2004-02/msg00092.html 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! Alessandro p.s: Now the next thread will be "how can I slow down the damn fan?" ;)
