I finally upgraded to dapper, and I do NOT have any problems :), scaling works fine as before, as well as everything else.
I have a Thinkpad X31 2673-CBU , with Intel Pentium M (Banias) 1.4 GHz. My kernel is now: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a Linux host 2.6.15-27-386 #1 PREEMPT Sat Sep 16 01:51:59 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/quickPath.do?quickPathEntry=2673CBU http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/User:Piccobello -- kernel can't scale cpu frequency https://launchpad.net/bugs/36014 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
