For some reason, the module won't load when probed. All I get is the
following error:
FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino
(/lib/modules/2.6.12.1/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko): No such device
As such, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/ is an empty dir.
/proc/cpuinfo shows the following:

Which suggests that it should work :)
I've spotted some older posts of people with similar problems (apparently all
1.5GHz P-M's) who couldn't get it to work on 2.6.8 and were suggested
to upgrade. However, 12.1 doesn't help me much either.
What do I need to fix in order to get it to work?
