Hi,
My kernel says this on boot:
| Quote: | localhost genjix # /etc/init.d/cpufreqd start
* Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)...
* Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)...
* Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)...

* cpufreqd requires the kernel to be configured with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ

yet

What does this mean?
Thanks |

Genjix,
It probably means you are not running the kernel you think you are.
What doesshow for the date and time ?
Thats the time the running kernel was compiled - is it what you expected ?

Have you tried enabling the "ACPI P-states driver" ?

| Try checking your BIOS settings. I was using beyond which had a patch so that I did not use ACPI but when I changed back to gentoo-sources I had this problem as I had turned some of the cpu scaling settings off in my BIOS. Try setting it back to the default settings. |

I have encoutered the same problem. What follows is the output of uname -a and cpufreq-info for both kernels and ls -al for /usr/src. I am presently building a 2.6.15-Suspend2 kernel as the bug report suggests that may help expose the problem. The output of the following information was done one-after-the-other (dump, reboot, dump, post). I have not modified my BIOS, and (to the best of my knowledge) not done anything exotic.
The computer is an Averatec 3250 series laptop. I have been trying to upgrade to be able to hibernate with this laptop. Power managed works as expected in the older kernel.
Update: I just tested the 2.6.15-Suspend2-r8 and encountered the same problem as reported by cpufreq-info in 2.6.16-Suspend2

This *is* the problem. It works in 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 but not in the 2.6.16 version. Downgrade if you experience this problem. |

anyone who sees this bug is not using the CPU-specific cpufreq drivers, they are using the generic ACPI one. the real drivers are significantly faster, will often present more available frequencies, and are unaffected by this bug. they are named powernow and speedstep.

I got a Centrino T2300 [yonah, dual core], i enabled all the centrino's options in .config but it doesn't get recognized by cpufreqd, same error as above. I'm on beyond-sources-4.
I read a notice during boot about more than 8 procs detected, but my kernel supports up to 2 ... i'm recompiling it with 10 cpus ...
EDIT: centrino speedstep's refer to different cpu with different fsb, my core duo goes 667MHz ... and i can't see it as option ... maybe my cpu is not yet supported

There is no cpufreq subdirectory under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0|1]. I guess this is probably why nothing works.
(See the above note for my Kernel config, dmesg, etc.) |

Here is what I posted to the bug report as my config. As you can see, I have all powernow and speedstep values set. I am experiencing this bug. I have posted this config file in full in the bug report per request. Please also note in my earlier posting that the 2.6.10 kernel that I am presently using, which works, shows that I use the Powernow-K7 driver in that kernel. I have that driver set in my 2.6.16-suspend2-r7--but it does not work in the latter but does in the former.

Therefore, unless I'm missing something I will respectfully have to disagree with your assessment. The problem remains and is likely a software defect.

Is that to me? If so, I'm running AMD. I use powernow-k7 in my 2.6.10 kernel. |

I have the same problem - I'm using the exact same cpufreq config as for my last kernel, which did work with cpufreq

I am presently trying 2.6.16-suspend2-r8 kernel which was released last Wednesday. I'll edit this post with my findings.
Edit: This kernel version still complains that the drivers are not present, despite the drivers being in the kernel. I repeat, this is a bug. |
