Hint: on "your" machine. And it basically validates my points. You machine is not capable of running Ubuntu without hacks, meaning your machine + Linux newbie = Ubuntu does not work.
In my case the workaround is to use an older kernel. Not cool, but workable. Although something in the system (and I have no idea what) seems to limit which frequencies I'm capable to enable via cpufreq-set. (might be as well the hardware that disable higher frequencies because it is feeling "hot") Andreas Am Montag, den 15.06.2009, 12:40 +0000 schrieb Michael Brooks: > Andreas you are wrong.
