Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12 Followup-For: Bug #402426
After some more fiddling around I remembered that the board's (Asus P5B-VM DO) BIOS has an option to set the 'ACPI version' to either of 'ACPI1.0', 'ACPI2.0' and 'ACPI3.0'. With the first setting (and only the first one) speedstep-centrino loads and seems to work. Judging from my googling over the last two hours this affects a lot of people (especially after BIOS updates) and not all of them will be so lucky as to have a workaround in BIOS setup. I don't know if all these BIOSs are buggy or if the kernel is missing support for the ACPI flavor that currenty en-vogue ... but if there's any way I can help, you have my e-mail. Feel free to pass it upstream.
