Description Prashanth 2009-03-17 10:41:45 UTC

Description of problem:
I have 2 dual core xeon processors (3.2 GHz). While trying to load the acpi-cpufreq driver, I encounter the following error:

# modprobe acpi-cpufreq
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.18.8/kernel/arch/x86_64/kernel/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device

Comment 1 Steven M. Parrish 2009-03-17 12:35:31 UTC

the module in question is part of the kernel and not the acpi package.  Reassigning to the correct component.

Comment 2 Prashanth 2009-03-17 13:42:01 UTC

The dmesg shows the following output:

===============================
ACPI: CPU2 (power states: C1[C1] C3[C3])
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0721): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20060707]
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x3

===============================

It looks like acpi is not recognising the processors.

You are running a 2.6.18.8 kernel on Fedora 10?

Comment 4 Prashanth 2009-07-01 05:46:15 UTC

Yes. Is there any issue with running this version on Fedora 10?

We can't support that.
