another acpi/cpufreq problem

[jensgr]

Hello,

i have an new xw8600 workstation from HP and still don't get my cpu-frequency down. The CPU's are 2 E5405, and
cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling gives
state count: 8
active state: T0
state available: T0 to T7
states:
*T0: 100%
T1: 87%
T2: 75%
T3: 62%
T4: 50%
T5: 37%
T6: 25%
T7: 12%

in my kernel i configured

#
# CPU Frequency scaling
#
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS=y

# CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_LIB is not set
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_LADDER=y
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_MENU=y

If i do modprobe acpi-cpufreq i get
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r5/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device

If i echo something in /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/ my system freezes.

Here some other outputs:

Thanks for any help!!!

[whitenerdy]

Did you insmod the required modules?
Does

[jensgr]

I can insert the governor modules without any problems, but i don't get the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq directory. If i insert the acpi-cpufreq module i get the error message mentioned above

[addeman]

I had some similar problems. Compile cpufreq in the kernel and not as a module. That worked for me.

/Addeman

[jensgr]

I compiled all modules into the kernel, still no /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq

[addeman]

Hmm, that is strange. But i have the exact same problem with my celeron e1200. It might be that cpufreq does not yet recognize these cpus...
