Even compiling speedstep-lib and speedstep-smi as a module is no help. I modified the original config-2.6.32-22-generic to have it as a module.
$ sudo modprobe speedstep-lib relaxed_check=1 WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/speedstep-lib, it will be ignored in a future release. $ sudo modprobe speedstep-smi WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/speedstep-lib, it will be ignored in a future release. FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_smi (/lib/modules/2.6.32.11+drm33.2-mic1/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-smi.ko): No such device $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/speedstep-lib options speedstep-lib relaxed_check=1 This is with Ubuntu 10.04 and Kernel 2.6.32. With previous Ubuntu Versions everything is fine (out of the box with "generic"-Kernel). I still have a partition with 9.04 which is running fine and I upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10, which also was fine before the upgrade. I added the output of modinfo (speedstep-lib.ko). There you can see the relax-option is present. Is this a generic problem with this Linux Kernel version? Or is this Ubuntu specific? Should I ask upstream? ** Attachment added: "$modinfo speedstep-lib" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48609431/modinfo-speedstep-lib.txt -- No speedstep on IBM Thinkpad A21m (P3 Coppermine) with lucid and 2.6.32 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580189 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
