Bug Description
Binary package hint: powernowd
Hello,
I don't succeed in using steepstep feature with my Dothan processor (Pentium M 740) @ 1.7 Ghz on my desktop PC (not a laptop).
It is based on ASUS P4P800-SE motherboard + ASUS CT-479 adapter for Dothan processors
When I execute powernowd :
:/usr/share/
powernowd: PowerNow Daemon v0.97, (c) 2003-2006 John Clemens
powernowd: Found 1 scalable unit: -- 1 'CPU' per scalable unit
/sys/devices/
PowerNowd encountered and error and could not start.
Please make sure that:
- You are running a v2.6.7 kernel or later
- That you have sysfs mounted /sys
- That you have the core cpufreq and cpufreq-userspace
modules loaded into your kernel
- That you have the cpufreq driver for your cpu loaded,
(for example: powernow-k7), and that it works. Check
'dmesg' for errors.
If all of the above are true, and you still have problems,
please email the author: <email address hidden>
Note: there isn't directory named cpufreq under /sys/devices/
modprobe speedstep-centrino :
:/usr/share/
FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino (/lib/modules/
So, what's wrong?
Thanks a lot,
Philippe
