Hi,

some days ago I updated my old (2004) box with a new hd. In the
operation I installed a clean lenny. After the installation, all more
or less is working, I noticed that the box didn't have activated the
cool and quiet. Probably because I disable it some month ago testing
some function with the compiz, k8temp module or whatever.

Now, I have been realised that my box doesn't work with cool and
quiet. Simple, if I activate it in the bios, the kernel
(linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64, 2.6.26-8) hangs booting.
Are you saying it worked before but it doesn't now?> If so, I probably
can't help you.
Well, in bios mode i think that is working. The problem is that when
linux is booting. The first error is somethings about the clock
(unstable, doe the freq scaling), but I have tested all the modes
without success.

If it never worked before (or you hadn't tried it), perhaps a BIOS
update will fix the problem. I had the same thing happen on my fairly
similar system due to a BIOS bug.
Yes, was the first thing I did. The bios is updated to the last know
version.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Check the beta bioses too.Asus motherboards(for an example) are almost
always more stable with a beta one.Can you tell us the motherboard make
/ model and revision please?
of course,

it's a MSI [1]. I have installed the last version of the bios. Activating
the cool n quiet I got problems with the clocksource. I have tested hpet,
tsc and acpi. I ccan try to test it again if this is the trick and I have
missed something.

Best regards,

Leo

PS I have make cc to the list because I thought that you missed it, I
hope don't offend you.

no offence mate.Well it's a socket 754.the same happens with windows too
(complaining about the clock) but it should work.I will investigate it
further though.make sure all acpi options are enabled in bios.If they
are then try to disable them.I have seen numerous broken implementations
of acpi.
play a bit with its settings.

No success :-(

- I have tested with clocksource=acpi_pm or tsc and no
- I have tested to unstall cpufrequtils and no. i think that is solution is a combination betwend some kernel modules loaded at boot time and some configuration. But I remember have enabled the cool n' quiet and the cpufreq changed ondemand.

Regards,

PS how can I know which kernel modules do I need?


leave cpufrequtils on

Try some different settings in BIOS.I think that the problem lies there.Can you post your bios settings under power management and/or anything relevant to acpi?
