I have a eeepc 701 and after upgrade to squeeze (kernel 2.6.32-5-686) the
only governor for cpufreq are performance and powersave, it is impossible
to use ondemand& conservative.
Search on google give me the answer that the problem is in the switch from
.29 to .30 and that "the kernel was wrong to permit on-demand frequency
scaling before" with the module p4-clockmod (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536183 for other info).
In other words: this processor doesn't support frequency scaling, so to
pretend it does (as the kernel used to) was wrong. If you want
frequency scaling, buy a system with a processor that supports it.
There is no software solution to this problem, since the hardware just
doesn't do what you want it to do.
