Bug Description
I have an IBM Thinkpad T23 running Ubuntu 9.04 with my own vanilla kernels (no Ubuntu patches).
On all of my kernels up to 2.6.30.7 the Pentium-IIIm in my notebook speedsteps the frequency. Here is a part of the lsmod output (running kernel 2.6.30.7):
root@stefan2:/sys# lsmod
...
speedstep_ich 3108 0
speedstep_lib 4120 1 speedstep_ich
cpufreq_powersave 1300 0
cpufreq_stats 4084 0
cpufreq_performance 1332 0
cpufreq_ondemand 6760 1
cpufreq_
freq_table 4180 3 speedstep_
...
With exactly the same settings regarding cpu frequency scaling, the kernel 2.6.31 no longer seems to support speedstepping on my notebook. The module speedstep-ich does not load. I get the error "no such device".
I also tried to use acpi-cpufreq instead - I get the same "no such device" error.

Same problem on Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 (P3 Coppermine) with 2.6.31 on 9.10.
