Hi,

I have installed the 2008.0 on a brand new box, which has the Intel QX9650 Core 2 Duo (Quad core, 3.0 GHz, and 45nm). I have tried to follow the Power Guide manual, plus what I could find on our forums, but I continue to get the following error from cpufrequtils:

Code:
$ cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006

$ uname -a
Linux ratchet 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 #8 SMP Thu Apr 10 17:29:10 CDT 2008 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme CPU X9650 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

My kernel settings are as follows:

Code:
$ zgrep CPUFREQ /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y
# CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_PROC_INTF is not set

$ zgrep CPU_FREQ /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=m
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_ONDEMAND is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_CONSERVATIVE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=y

I am sure that I am missing something obvious, but I don't see it. What am I missing?

Google has not turned up anything for me yet. Beside the Power Management Guide, can you recommend another doc or page?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help, but I continue to get the same problem after recompiling the kernel. I think it has to do with either the latest version of the kernel (2.6.24-r4) or with the processor being so new (Intel QX9650 Extreme Edition, 45 nm Penryn). Unfortunately, Google is not shedding any light on the subject...
