Overclock freeze the 701

[Filippo82]

Hi I followed the wiki... Clean install of ubuntu, updated, installed array kernel. fixed issues etc.
I have a problem, when I press fnf6 buttons for the overclock my eeepc freezes... maybe too fast passes to get the 900 mhz?
Anyway this is my eee-overclock.

#!/bin/sh
# Change FSB clock of the Asus EEE using the 'eee' module
# Setup the processor to run at 675Mhz in normal load and 900Mhz in heavy load
# Using p4-clockmod and cpufreq-ondemand (overclocking in steps to prevent freezes)

#Check if the module exists - Commented for Adam's kernel compatibility
#if [ -z "`ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/acpi | grep eee.ko`" ]; then
# echo "eee module not found."
# exit 1
#fi

# This script needs to be called at start time and when suspending
case "$1" in
  on)
  # Start overclocker module, overclock in six steps
  modprobe i2c_i801
  modprobe eee
  echo 75 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  sleep 0.2
  echo 80 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  sleep 0.2
  echo 85 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  sleep 0.2
  echo 90 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  sleep 0.2
  echo 95 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  sleep 0.2
  echo 100 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  # Start frequency scaling modules
  modprobe p4-clockmod
  modprobe cpufreq-ondemand
  echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
  # Set frequency to minimize fan rotation if no cpu is needed
  echo 675000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
 ;;
 off)
  # Gradually restore frequency
  echo 95 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  sleep 0.2
  echo 90 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  sleep 0.2
  echo 85 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  sleep 0.2
  echo 80 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  sleep 0.2
  echo 75 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  sleep 0.2
  echo 70 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
  # Remove frequency management modules
  modprobe -r eee
  modprobe -r i2c_i801
  echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
  modprobe -r p4-clockmod
 ;;
 toggle)
  if [ -r /proc/eee/fsb ] && [ `cat /proc/eee/fsb | cut -f 1 -d " "` -gt 70 ]; then
   exec $0 off
  else
   exec $0 on
  fi
 ;;
 *)
  echo "USAGE: `basename $0` (on|off|toggle)"
 ;;
esac

Hi.
What Ubuntu version are you using. The script is only for Hardy.
Anyway, I think to know what it is.
Check #261401 I think is the same.

First try to fix by typing in console:

niceeepc manual unblacklist_i2c

Cheers.

Hi!! Thanks 4 your support!
I use 8.04!
I tried the to use niceeepc manual but it says FAIL, here it is.

filippo@filippo-laptop:~$ niceeepc manual unblacklist_i2c
WARNING this mode can perform unsafe actions.
NiceeePC will try to detect your eeePC model... [DONE] eeePC 701 detected.
Unblacklist i2c_i801... [FAIL]
[DONE]

Same freeze...
Thanks for everything friend

Hi! Well I changed the steps to overclock

echo 72 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 74 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 76 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 78 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 80 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 82 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 84 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 85 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 88 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 90 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 95 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb
sleep 0.2
echo 100 24 1 > /proc/eee/fsb

Now it works!
