Package: linux-image-2.6.30-bpo.1-686
Version: 2.6.30-1~bpo50+1
Severity: normal


Dear Package Mantainer, 

cpufreq_ondemand doesn't work in this laptop with this kernel. In previous
kernels (up to 2.6.29) was working fine but I hed to add it in /etc/modules.

It seems cpufreq_ondemand module is either missing or compiled in the kernel.

CPU scaling on this laptop's processor (p4 mobile 3ghz) works only with 
p4_clockmod, cpufreq_ondemand seems to be the only one which automatically 
scales the frequency based on cpu load.

cpufreq_conservative doesn't work.


This is my first bug report, I apologize in advance if this report is
incomplete or wrong in some way.

Please, let me know if you need more information or there is anything else I can
do.

Best Regards,

Paolo Scarabelli
