Hi All,

I've managed to shutdown Powernowd as per the instructions but can't use ondemand. I don't have the "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor" directory on my laptop, under cpu0 the only directory I have is cache. I've tried to create the directories using sudo but get an Operation Not Permitted error. Can anyone please help or offer other suggestions? This error is becoming a real problem and I'd prefer not to have to install something other than Ubuntu, I've finally got everything configured exactly how I like it.... :-(
