Hi,

I have installed 5.2-release on an old Latitude C640 and the dmesg 
reports the following (full dmesg attached):

...
acpicpu0 at acpi0acpicpu0: struck PSS entry, core frequency equals  last
acpicpu0: struck PSS entry, core frequency equals  last
acpicpu0: invalid _PSS length
: C2
...

And yes there is fun and games with CPU frequency control.  I can't get 
the reported frequency above 1.2GHz as reported by apm and sysctl.hw:

root:97# apm -H
root:98# apm
Battery state: high, 84% remaining, 149 minutes life estimate
A/C adapter state: not connected
Performance adjustment mode: manual (1197 MHz)
root:99# sysctl hw.cpuspeed hw.setperf
hw.cpuspeed=1197
hw.setperf=100
root:100# apm -L
root:101# apm
Battery state: high, 84% remaining, 149 minutes life estimate
A/C adapter state: not connected
Performance adjustment mode: manual (143 MHz)

I have tried various BIOS settings for the CPU - maximum battery, 
maximum performance, automatic etc.  Being on AC or battery makes no 
difference either.  Doing a kernel build to put a load on the CPU also 
doesn't budge it above the reported 1.2GHz.

Do the two extremes in fact map to 1.2 and 2.0 GHz?  Any bashes with 
clue bat?  Given its age is it worth it?  The machine is clean (base 
install and a couple of packages only) and intended for tracking current 
so I can try out patches.

TTFN
