Comment 10 for bug 225319

I booted Ubuntu 8.04 off the disc with acpi=off.
The CPU frequency applet now shows the frequency ACCURATELY at 2.53GHz.
When installing the applet I got a warning that CPU scaling is not supported. I have not seen this previously

grep Hz /proc/cpuinfo now says
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz
cpu MHz : 2532.701

dmidecode.txt has not changed
Max Speed: 1500 MHz
Current Speed: 2500 MHz

dmesg.log has several entries under (maybe due to acpi being disabled?)
acpi_freq: Unknown symbol acpi_processor_notify_smm
acpi_freq: Unknown symbol acpi_processor_unregister_performance
acpi_freq: Unknown symbol acpi_processor_preregister_performance
acpi_freq: Unknown symbol acpi_processor_register_performance

Please be explicit on how to acquire any further requested info. (me nOOb) :-)

Thanks!
