I don't think that's true. It really depends on whether the BIOS provides correct information about the available frequencies. > FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq: No such device Please try creating the file /etc/modprobe.d/processor-ppc.conf containing the text: options processor ignore_ppc=1 and then reboot.
