I had the same effect when trying to update from 2.6.15 to 2.6.17. Do you have acpi compiled in (instead of as a module) or do you load the acpi module before speedstep_centrino? It seems that acpi tries to load acpi_cpufreq, which used to work here but since 2.6.17 doesn't anymore and leaves the frequency scaling in a busy state. It should be fixed in 2.6.19, although I haven't tried. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6848 If the above seems to correspond to your problem, try compiling all of acpi as modules and to load speedstep_centrino first. Anyway, quite a long shot in the dark. -- Remy Remove underscore and suffix in reply address for a timely response. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
