Missing C-States on Core Duo

[Frank Ursel <listadress@gmx.net>]

Hello.

On my laptop [1] shows a maximum of 8 c-states. But only 3 are in use.
Where are the others gone? The output of dmesg[2] shows only three of
them, too. The max_cstate reports 8 so whats wrong with my system? As
far as I know, there should be at least a C4-state. Is there any
parameter, I need to pass through the kernel or is it a damn limitation
of my system or what else went wrong? The laptop is a Fujitsu-Siemens
S7110 and I'm using a brand new Etch.

Thanks,
Frank
