I'm trying to make cpu freq adjustment work on a toshiba m35x-s161. My task is complicated as this appears to be some sort of toshiba branded made in china but not really toshiba laptop (if you followed all that). basically it has a phoenix bios so the toshiba specific tools will not work.
ACPI reports the following from dmesg: ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery present) ACPI: AC Adapter [ACAD] (on-line) ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports C1 C2 C3, 8 throttling states) ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF] ACPI: Lid Switch [LID] And in fact the lid switch works, oh joy - and the battery reporting works also. I have built all of the kernel options which look relevant. Here is a list of modules : acpi.ko speedstep-ich.ko speedstep-smi.ko speedstep-centrino.ko speedstep-lib.ko ac.ko button.ko processor.ko toshiba_acpi.ko battery.ko fan.ko thermal.ko cpufreq_performance.ko cpufreq_powersave.ko powernowd reports the following : Starting powernowd: required sysfs objects not found! and it is correct, there is no CPU entry in sysfs. most of my module experimentation results in "no such device" errors. dryrot:/lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/drivers# modprobe speedstep-ich FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_ich (/lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-ich.ko): No such device And I never, ever, see anything show up in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/, which is going to be the key to getting this to work. It would be nice if I could get standby to work, but that's probably asking for too much. Looking for some help - and yes it's a debian system, although I think this is not so much debian related as kernel related.
