Description Adam Bowns 2006-03-02 19:41:50 UTC
Description of problem:
When booting FC5 Test 3 on VMWare Workstation 5.5.1 build-19175 I keep noticing
the following error in the start up sequence: -

FATAL: error inserting acpi_cpufreq
(/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1996_FC5/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpu_freq/acpi-cpufreq.ko):
No such device.

This could be a dupe of bug 165494, but I'll let you guys be the judge of that.

How reproducible:
Every boot.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot, watch the screen.
  
Actual results:
FATAL: error inserting acpi_cpufreq
(/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1996_FC5/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpu_freq/acpi-cpufreq.ko):
No such device.

Expected results:
No error.

Hardware:
NEC Versa M350, Intel Celeron M.

Created attachment 125563 [details]
Screenshot of bug.

Comment 2 Adam Bowns 2006-03-03 13:13:56 UTC
Same problem with kernel-2.6.15-1.2008_FC5 (The only difference is the kernel
version in the error message).

Comment 3 Adam Bowns 2006-03-04 11:08:20 UTC
Same problem with kernel-2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5 (The only difference is the kernel
version in the error message).

Comment 4 Adam Bowns 2006-03-10 21:07:40 UTC
Also present with kernel-2.6.15-1.2038_FC5.

Comment 5 Dave Jones 2006-03-11 22:32:56 UTC
what's the output of the /proc/acpi/processor/CPU*/throttling files ?


Comment 6 Adam Bowns 2006-03-12 22:18:06 UTC
I got these results from my system which is fully up to date with the
development yum repository (kernel-2.6.15-1.2041_FC5).

cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling
state count:             8
active state:            T0
states:
   *T0:                  00%
    T1:                  12%
    T2:                  25%
    T3:                  37%
    T4:                  50%
    T5:                  62%
    T6:                  75%
    T7:                  87%

It's only a uniprocessor machine, so that's the only file I have. If you need
any more info I'm more than happy to provide it.

Comment 7 Dave Jones 2006-03-17 20:35:05 UTC
Well, this is annoying.  By rights acpi-cpufreq should work.
The problem is we don't really know if it will work until we try and load it.

I think for FC6 I'm going to change cpuspeed so that it doesn't activate by default.


Comment 8 zingale 2006-10-25 15:04:19 UTC
I have this same problem with FC6 on a thinkpad x60 (it is an upgrade from my
previous FC5 installation).

My /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling looks the same as above for both CPU0
and CPU1


Comment 9 Alexey Bozrikov 2006-11-03 16:43:42 UTC
Same behaviour on FC6 on Thinkpad T42, kernel version:
Linux bozy-nb 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:54:20 EDT 2006 i686 i686

Another comment: when I just installed FC6 - it worked (and the frequency
control applet worked too). Problem started after update (although kernel was
NOT updated).

Comment 10 jtravnick 2006-11-25 12:57:08 UTC
Have an acer aspire 3000 I did not have this problem in FC5 but when I did a
fresh install of FC6 I now do.

Comment 11 Jarod Wilson 2006-12-21 20:17:18 UTC
If folks would be so kind, please retest with the latest kernel and cpuspeed
installed. There are a few updates that have been made recently, particularly to
cpuspeed, that hopefully fix some of these issues...

Comment 12 Adam Bowns 2006-12-27 09:40:37 UTC
It looks like the updates have fixed the bug for me, I'm no longer seeing the
message on boot.

Comment 13 Jarod Wilson 2007-01-02 18:21:23 UTC
Closing, based on comment #12.
