Listmates, I installed 2.6.31.12-1-default on 11.0 in my AMD powered x86_64 laptop. It boots and seems to run just fine. (for some reason I had to manually run mkinitrd, but I presume that was due to the lack of some post-install script) I will still need to recompile several kernel modules to get wifi and fglrx going, but before spending the effort, I need to tackle frequency scaling for the CPU. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe frequency scaling is provided by the 'k8-powernow' that loads during boot with the 2.6.25.20-0.7 kernel, but I don't know if that is a module or something that needs to be compiled into the kernel? Kernel gurus, what do you know? When 2.6.31.12-1 booted, I hadn't run depmod for the new kernel so I received a modules.dep error, but the boot continued fine. The frequency scaling error received in syslog was: Apr 16 01:16:06 alchemy powersaved[2624]: WARNING (CpufreqManagement:52) No capability cpufreq_control Apr 16 01:16:07 alchemy powersaved[2624]: WARNING (continueEvent:250) Could not execute program /usr/lib/powersave/scripts for event daemon.scheme.change: No such file or directory I have checked the kernel modules for any k8-powernow and it isn't present in the old or new kernels (unless it's named something else): [02:00 alchemy:/lib/modules] # find 2.6.31.12-1-default/ -name k8* 2.6.31.12-1-default/kernel/drivers/hwmon/k8temp.ko So basically -- I need help. I need to know if the k8-powernow 'thingy' is the frequency scaling process, and if not -- 'what is?' If so, then I need to know how it gets loaded, either through a module I don't know then name of, or whether it should be something that is on-board the kernel. If it's on-board the kernel, I need to know how to test whether it has been compiled in 'grep what config' (or some other check)? I'm encouraged to have had the kernel boot and run as well as it did initially, so with a little tweaking, maybe I can bring my 11.0 box a bit closer to current with an updated kernel. Thanks for any wisdom you can offer. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
