[Bug 350360] Re: Jaunty 2.6.28-11-generic no cpuscaling-Error inserting acpi_cpufreq
For now I'm closing this bug based on comment 5 from graysky, the original bug reporter. This appeared to be resolved with a BIOS update. If anyone is still having issues after flashing updating your BIOS, you should open a new bug as you have a different issue.

Also got it fixed, I forgot to change the menu.lst entry to the new kernel... the old one is not compatible with the new cpu scaling method. Thanks anyway!

Hi, I have the same CPU frequency scaling unsupported. You will not be able to modify the frequency of your machine. Your machine may be misconfigured or not have hardware support for CPU frequency scaling. error. I upgraded to Jaunty from Intrepid where it worked just fine (as it did in Hardy). My CPU is a Intel Core2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz. I have the latest BIOS for my notebook (an Asus F3Jc). -- Jaunty 2.6.28-11-generic no cpuscaling-Error inserting acpi_cpufreq https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350360 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I figured it out! I took a clue from my /var/log/dmesg [4.633657] [Firmware Bug]: BIOS needs update for CPU frequency support [4.633718] ACPI Error (psloop-0136): Found unknown opcode 20 at AML address 88012d27c633 offset 4F, ignoring [20080926] [4.633722] ACPI Error (psloop-0136): Found unknown opcode 6F at AML address 88012d27c638 offset 54, ignoring [20080926] [4.633726] ACPI Error (psloop-0136): Found unknown opcode 20 at AML address 88012d27c63c offset 58, ignoring [20080926] [4.633729] ACPI Error (psloop-0136): Found unknown opcode 6F at AML address 88012d27c640 offset 5C, ignoring [20080926] That line that reads, Firmware Bug: BIOS needs update for CPU frequency support was really bugging me. So I took a risk, d/l'ed the latest BIOS for my board, flashed, reset all my custom BIOS settings, and rebooted into my new kernel. I'm now able to use acpi-cpufreq and scaling works smoothly :) I think you can safely close this ticket and pass on the information to folks experiencing this same symptom: flash your BIOS! -- Jaunty 2.6.28-11-generic no cpuscaling-Error inserting acpi_cpufreq https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350360 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
