Celeron 560 & CPUFreq

I'm having a huge problem.

I'm not quite sure if it's compatible.. but I think it [should] be.

In the bios is an option for Intel SpeedStep to be disabled or enabled.

What version of cpufreqd and cpufreutils are you using?

sys-power/cpufreqd
Latest version available: 2.1.1
Latest version installed: 2.1.1

* sys-power/cpufrequtils
Latest version available: 002-r4
Latest version installed: 002-r4

is that what you mean?

this is looking pretty hopeless :/

according to the specs at http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLA2D you dont have speedstep. you could try the p4_clockmod module instead. this should allow you to change the frequencies (maybe).

I have celeron m530. It doesn't have any frequency scalling capatibility. p4_clockmod works, it shows change of frequency in /proc/cpuinfo. Computer runs slower,,,, but it doesn't save any power.

I still get the same thing when trying to start cpufreqd and when i run cpufreq-info after compiling p4-clockmod into the kernel.

Upgrade your cpufrequtils. Version 002 doesn't work with newer kernels.
