Thanks, I think I will recompile it indeed, I also have a feeling that the DSDT of this laptop (HP nx 9005 AMD 2000+, a descendant of the Presario series) in not supported.
I'll recompile during the weekend, hope it works...
by the way, how does Throttling work on you machine, do you have to run cpufreq, or is it independent? I have cpufreq working by the way, and just found the cpudyn package, with a patch for AMD, works rather nice, but it lacks the ability to throttle the cpu when using at high load for a long time, as I might do with this laptop :-)
Throttling and cpufreq are two different things and handled seperatly. The former by ACPI the latter by it's own code. Your machine says throttling is not supported. That is no Bug. Maybe it's just missing in DSDT (or any other table), or your HW is not able to do throttling at all. Throttling means to switch of the cpu clock for short times. I guess you don't win anything with a selfcompiled kernel (except experience ;) ). -- ciao, christian -------------------------------------------------------------------- Verglichen mit jedem x-beliebigen Redmonder Betriebssystem-Clone ist Linux geradezu eine leuchtende Perle der Datensicherheit. ------ Frank Rennemann (http://www.linux-knowledge-portal.org) -----
