 Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 11:55 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Intel Centrino 1.4GHz speedstep problem.. another |
 |
|
sometime age i have working cpufreq but i dont used it but now i need it and when i want turn it on its just dont work. I dont have modules like speedstep-* cpufreq-* cose i have everything compiled into kernel:
| Code: | CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=y |
and when i try `/etc/init.d/cpufrequtils start` i get this:
| Code: | * Service cpufrequtils starting
[ !! ]unknown or unhandled CPU?
* ERROR: cpufrequtils failed to start
|
running cpufreq-info or -set gives me this:

i have everything about my cpu in /proc/acpi/processor but its dont gives me anything. I read about throtling/scalling etc here and on google but didnt find any solution for me.

i dont have any other ideas what can be wrong

Celeron M doesn't have SpeedStep support. You'll have to use "Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation" and the userspace governor with a software CPU daemon, like powernowd.
| Code: | 1. Compile the kernel with support for "Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation" and the userspace governor.
2. emerge powernowd
3. /etc/init.d/powernowd start
4. rc-update add powernowd default |

are you sure?? cose now i have checked my old kernel and with it everything just work fine using onlu cpufrequtils. i easly can change speed from 175MHz to 1,4GHz in 8 steps.
i'm wondering isn't that a bug in 2.6.18 kernel.. cose if with my previous kernel it works and i dont change config so here it should work too.. isn't it?? |

Well, if the CPU is truely a Intel Celeron M, then I'm sure. I have one myself, and I've read through the CPU specs from Intel which clearly states that Celeron M does not have SpeedStep support.

so maybe my is choosen 
| Code: | cat /proc/acpi/processor/C000/throttling
state count: 8
active state: T0
states:
*T0: 00%
T1: 12%
T2: 25%
T3: 37%
T4: 50%
T5: 62%
T6: 75%
T7: 87% |
| Code: | cat /proc/acpi/processor/C000/info
processor id: 0
acpi id: 1
bus mastering control: yes
power management: yes
throttling control: yes
limit interface: yes |
this tells me too that my processor allows for throtling :] |

Well, ACPI throttling is not the same thing as SpeedStep, trust me.
Here's my "stuff" for example:
| Code: | $ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 13
model name : Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1.50GHz
stepping : 8
cpu MHz : 187.500
cache size : 1024 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe nx
bogomips : 3000.11 |
| Code: | $ cat /proc/acpi/processor/C000/throttling
state count: 8
active state: T0
states:
*T0: 00%
T1: 12%
T2: 25%
T3: 37%
T4: 50%
T5: 62%
T6: 75%
T7: 87% |
| Code: | $ cat /proc/acpi/processor/C000/info
processor id: 0
acpi id: 1
bus mastering control: yes
power management: yes
throttling control: yes
limit interface: yes |
You'll unfortunatly have to do as I wrote - run a software CPU scaler (and yes, cpufreqd is also a software scaler, it just doesn't work as reliable as powernowd).

ok i'll try powernowd
but thought that cpufreq-set and -info uses speedstep :] |

| however powernowd dont work too :/ it wants to access /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq but i dont have that file in afect of kernel. Its just dont want use it.. |

Have you compiled your kernel with p4-clockmod and the userspace scaling governor?

| yes with all of them. i tell you that i use the same config as for 2.6.17 kernel but and in there everything works fine but when i compile 2.6.18 it fails and not only i have got that problem as i see in another topic |

Hmm... Well, perhaps you should stick with 2.6.17 until they fix your issue then?

Did you "modprobe p4-clockmod"

Strange, I have it as a module and can modprobe it and I get the correct files/directories under /proc and /sys
I'm using 2.6.18 gentoo-sources.

now i see the problem
| Code: | | FATAL: Error inserting p4_clockmod (/lib/modules/2.6.18-gentoo/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/p4-clockmod.ko): Device or resource busy |
and here is the solution

thx guys for that clue :] |

THat's why I compile things like this as modules. Kernel will generally load what's correct and you can get better error messages.
After, you can always compile direct into kernel once you know it's the thing you want.
Cheers

hello all!
so, with the kernel-config from http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/31/43 you can change the frequency of your celeron ?
are you sure? because celeron cpus have a fixed multiplier, so the only way to change the frequency is by changing the FSB. and there is no utility for linux to do this, as far as i know.
so please check your frequency with /proc/cpuinfo and /sys/devices/system/cpu/CPU0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_frequency .
could please post this two files here again, after you changed your cpu-freq ? |

| yeah :] i know that but the stangest thing is that i cant disable cpufreq :/ i saw that when i even skip everything about freq in kernel it still uses scaling by automatic ondemand governor :] and that is really confusing |
