I also saw this exact same thing after the upgrade, but I think it is a udev issue, not a kernel one. Do a "lsmod | grep cpu". I had the acpi-cpufreq module being loaded by udev prior to my loading the speedstep-centrino module in my rc.conf modules array. Since one cpu frequency module is already loaded, the "device or resource busy" error is thrown. My system was less responsive with the acpi-cpufreq module - scrolling in vim was jerky, for instance. Blacklisting all modules in /lib/modules/2.6.15-ARCH/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq except for the speedstep-centrino module forces udev to load the correct module, but it feels like a hack. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
