Hi, it seems 2.6.16-r7 breaks cpufreqd for pentium-M yet its marked as stable. I think this should be masked.
Works for me. Without further information there is nothing we can do to help.
Heres some more info: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3319339.html#3319339 http://groups.google.com/group/alt.os.linux.gentoo/browse_thread/thread/54066f5847b1092f/e1228ed96f84c7ae#e1228ed96f84c7ae to quote: CPUFREQ was broken in some 2.6.16 kernels. Either step back to 2.6.15.6 or ahead to 2.6.17-RCx... In the 2.6.17 rc's, you won't get all the possible cpu frequencies as in 2.6.15.6, but it works.
Please don't rely on external URL's to describe your problem. Detail it right here, along with the other usual info you'd normally post to a kernel bug report.
I have the same problem here. CPU is a Core Duo. Upon start of cpufreqd (2.0.0) using the init script prints this: # /etc/init.d/cpufreqd start * cpufreqd requires the kernel to be configured with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ Even if support clearly is provided by running kernel: #gzcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i CONFIG_CPU_FREQ CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=y emerge --info Portage 2.0.54-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2600 @ 2.16GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: [Not Present] dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -Os -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -Os -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acpi alsa apache2 audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cli crypt cscope cups curl directfb dri dvd dvdr encode ethereal exif expat foomaticdb gdbm gif glut gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 java jpeg junit lcms libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mmxext mng motif mp3 mpeg nas ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png python quicktime readline reflection sdl session speex spell spl sse sse2 ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb userlocales vorbis wmf xml xml2 xorg xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS
inode77: did 2.6.15 work for you?
Closing until more info is provided
This problem still exists. I have run gentoo-2.6.10 since Jan'05, and am trying to upgrade to use Suspend2 sources (2.6.16-suspend2-r7). To demonstrate the problem, I have provided the output for the following commands: * uname -a (for both kernels) * cpufreq-info (for both kernels) * ls -l /usr/src I produced the output of one, then immediately rebooted. The system is an Avertec 3250 series laptop.

I understand the problem may manifest after 2.6.15, and I have that in my LS output. Therefore, I will try this kernel and report.
I just tested the Suspend2-2.6.15-r8 and encountered the same problem as reported by cpufreq-info.
Please attach a dmesg for each kernel as well as the configurations for each.

Ben: your problem is detailted at #121694 (2.6.16 regression) Not sure if Amir's issue is the same, as not enough info has been provided.
(In reply to comment #14) > Ben: your problem is detailted at #121694 (2.6.16 regression) > > Not sure if Amir's issue is the same, as not enough info has been provided. > Negative. Not the same issue--or at least not close enough. The issue in the problem in #121694, at least as I guage issues. That ticket relates to AMD64 series, and I am sporting an Athlon-XP 32bit CPU. I tried the solution in that ticket, to no avail. Therefore, as that ticket had a solution and mine did not work, my problem is not the same as that problem. The problem is this: in an Athlon processor (32 bit) I am not able to get the aforementioned driver to function in my 2.6.16 kernel either compiled into the kernel or as a module. My earlier kernel (mentioned above) works like a charm and picks up the appropriate driver.
Disregard. Off-thread discussion shows the bug I'm experiencing is #133128.

(In reply to comment #4) > * cpufreqd requires the kernel to be configured with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ I get this same error message... but only when I didn't have my processor driver module loaded. # /etc/init.d/cpufreqd start * cpufreqd requires the kernel to be configured with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ # modprobe acpi-cpufreq && /etc/init.d/cpufreqd start * Starting CPU Frequency Daemon ...
