Forgot to say that if an upgrade is not an option for you, you may make
this little hack:
in arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.c
56 static const struct cpu_id cpu_id_dothan_a1 = {
57 .x86_vendor = X86_VENDOR_INTEL,
58 .x86 = 6,
59 .x86_model = 13,
60 .x86_mask = 1,
^
replace with 6
61 };
though I think the upgrade is maybe better.
