Comment 1 Jørgen Nørgaard 2004-03-03 08:23:44 UTC
This seems to be related to the above error.

During boot and when running cpuspeed, the following error comes:

Error: Could not open file for writing:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Error: No such file or directory


Installed Fedora Core 2 and up2date'd to:

Linux version 2.6.3-1.118 (bhcompile.redhat.com) (gcc
version 3.3.3 20040216 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-2)) #1 Mon Mar 1 17:36:45
EST 2004


Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1500MHz on an Asus p4s333 board




Comment 2 Sean Earp 2004-03-05 03:25:10 UTC
I also get the same error message on bootup (using kernel rev
2.6.3-1.118, and everything up2date):

"During boot and when running cpuspeed, the following error comes:

Error: Could not open file for writing:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Error: No such file or directory

I noticed that the two configurations above were P4's.  I am running
an XP 2500+ on a Soyo KT4 motherboard...

Comment 3 Dustin 2004-03-05 21:20:02 UTC
Same problem here using an Athlon 2600 on a Biostar M7VIT Pro KT400
motherboard.  

"During boot and when running cpuspeed, the following error comes:

Error: Could not open file for writing:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Error: No such file or directory

Happened when booting both kernel 2.6.1-1.65 and 2.6.3-1.118.

Comment 4 Alan Cox 2004-05-03 19:47:45 UTC
None of these machines appear to support cpu speed scaling. If then it
seems like this is a cpuspeed bug for being noisy rather than giving
useful info ?


Comment 5 Dave Jones 2004-05-07 21:51:20 UTC
latest kernel & cpuspeed packages should have this fixed now.
