Re: SpeedStep-Problem

Hi There,

Looks like you've got a Pentium 4-M system, not a centrino. This is the
same as my machine (Dell Inspiron 8500).

So, build the speedstep-ich module:

<M> Intel Speedstep on ICH-M chipsets (ioport interface)

rather than the 'enhanced speedstep' module. This module should load
cleanly into your kernel and you should be fine from there.

I've been using the powernowd daemon
(http://packages.debian.org/powernowd) with good success on my machine -
note for this you'll need sysfs mounted and the userspace governor
loaded as well.

Hope all this helps.

Cheers,

Marcus
