I just found out sth which makes my CPU work with F17 on 1.83 Ghz: Add the following to a startupscript:
echo 1833000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor echo 1833000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor it seems that you have to set the governer again after setting the scaling_max_freq. cpufreq-info output is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/linux-2.6.19.1# cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006 Report errors and bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED], please. analyzing CPU 0: driver: centrino CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 1.83 GHz available frequency steps: 1.83 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz available cpufreq governors: userspace, powersave, ondemand, conservative, performance current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 1.83 GHz.
