Assuming I actually got the correct upstream kernel, it doesn't seem to have solved the problem:
Let me know if there is another kernel you want me to try, or any other info to gather. Note that I can't run this kernel generally as dkms doesn't work so I don't get my nvidia modules. anton@smeg:~$cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 007: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009 Report errors and bugs to cpuf...@vger.kernel.org, please. analyzing CPU 0: driver: acpi-cpufreq CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 maximum transition latency: 10.0 us. hardware limits: 600 MHz - 700 MHz available frequency steps: 700 MHz, 600 MHz available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 700 MHz.
