Intel 8100 Error inserting acpi_cpufreq

Intel 8100 Error inserting acpi_cpufreq

[S.Çağlar Onur]

Hi;

We received a bug report from one of our users, reporter says "modprobe acpi-cpufreq" ends up with following

FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.25.5-97/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko):
No such device

and after that try dmesg [1] starts to show

[...]
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
padlock: VIA PadLock not detected.
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
ACPI Error (psargs-0355): [\_PR_.CPU0._PSS] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_PR_.CPU1._PSS] (Node f74c7060), AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI Exception (processor_perflib-0255): AE_NOT_FOUND, Evaluating _PSS  [20070126]
[...]

Although original report against 2.6.25.5 reporter also tried 2.6.25.8 without success.

Any tips really appreciated and if anything else is needed please just tell...

Most likely BIOS is not exporting relevant ACPI tables for the driver to detect the frequencies and such.
Latest BIOS and enabling Speedstep in BIOS options will be the things to check.

Thanks,
