 Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2007 10:39 am Post subject: Processor no more recognized... |
 |
|
Hello!
I've just compiled a new kernel and my processor is no more recognized...
My old kernel was a gentoo 2.6.22-r2 and my new one is gentoo 2.6.22-r6.
I just copied my old .config and made a "make oldconfig" to use my old config.
A cat /proc/cpuinfo gives me :
| Code: | Processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 13
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz
stepping : 6
cpu MHz : 1694.577
cache size : 2048 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 mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe est tm2
bogomips : 3390.03
clflush size : 64 |
And when I try to run cpufreqd or cpufrequtils I get the following error message:
| Code: | * cpufreqd requires the kernel to be configured with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ
* Make sure that the appropiate drivers for your CPU are available. |
| Code: | * Enabling ondemand cpufreq governor on CPU0 ...
[ !! ]unknown or unhandled CPU?
|
For the config of my kernel, under Processor type and features, I've selected the following: PC-Compatible, Pentium M
and under Power Management, CPU frequency scaling, I selected (as hard, not as module), Intel Enhanced Speedstep
A grep CONFIG_CPU_FREQ .config gives me:
| Code: | CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y
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 |
Any idea of what I made wrong ?
Thanks!!
(If more output, or files are required, I can put them.) |

if you have built a new kernel you may well have to recompile your out-of-kernel packages as well. I recommend you try again after rebuilding those programs; they're likely pointing to the wrong module direcories or something.

| Before building my new kernel, I did a module-rebuild populate and after building my new kernel with the old config, I did a module-rebuild rebuild. They weren't packages related to my cpu... (svgalibg and the package for my graphic card (nvidia) were rebuild) |

well, maybe the module is there, but the cpu frequencey stuff has stored the name of it in terms of the absolute location in /lib/modules, which would specify a kernel version, and so it can't find the module to autoload or something like that.
have you tried modprobing the correct module?

I've put the stuff for my cpu in hard in the kernel (see below). Do you think I have to build it as a module?
| Code: | CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_TABLE=y |

no, i just think you have to reconfigure it to not expect to need one maybe.
but if that doesn't work, rebuilding as a module is probably a good next step, but that requires restarting.

Sorry, but I don't really understand what you mean... |

your version of cpufrequtils may be configured to require modules which are no longer available or required.

I emerged cpufreqd and cpufrequtils and even try a reboot, but I always got the same error...  |

then perhaps it is necessary to have them as modules. it's not unheard of for things to necessarily be modules.

I can past my .config if needed, other any other configuration file that might help you to help me!!
Thanks!! |

It's the first time that I see that... I'm very curious about that problem...
I don't know what can cause this problem.
Maybe...can you post your /proc/cpuinfo with an old kernel and after that boot with your new kernel and post /proc/cpuinfo... |

The problem is that I haven't any old kernel...
What do you propose? I use gentoo-source-2.6.22-r6... but I can try to compile a gentoo-source-2.6.22-r8... don't know if it might change something...
I really don't have any more ideas... I always configured my kernel in the same way and never had problems before. All seems to be well configured, but it doesn't work anyway.
I've just upgraded to kernel-2.6-23, but the problem remain...
Any ideas of what I've forgotten in my kernel (I don't see any other possible explanation...)
Thanks. |
