Bug#378975: error inserting powernow_k7
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-1-k7
Version: 2.6.17-4
Severity: important
For at least a weak I noticed my laptop's cpu-fan acting like crasy and the
keyboart getting *real* warm. Looking at the cpu I noticed that it is not
scaling down to lower frequencies anymore when not busy.
lsmod showed me that the powernow_k7 module is not loaded. Trying to insert it
manualy gives the following error:
FATAL: Error inserting powernow_k7 (lib/.../powernow_k7.ko): No such device.
Please note that my laptop runs Debian with powernow_k7 enabled for several years,
so my laptop is capable. I think a few weeks ago the problem was not present. Maybe
this helps to locate the occurence of the problem.
Please let me know if I can provide further information.
Cheers,
Bastian
