[gentoo-user] CPUFREQ and 2.6.16

[gentoo-user] CPUFREQ and 2.6.16

[Jerry McBride]

I depend on cpufreq to help stretch out the battery life of my laptop and it 
works quite well with 2.6.15.x kernels. However, upgrading to 2.6.16.x 
renders cpufreq dead in the water.

The boot complaint is, the start up script says I need to configure the kernel 
for cpufreq support even though it already is... Even trying to start cpufreq 
from the command line fails...

Has anyone else seen this ? Does anyone know of a fix? The cpufreq website ate 
sourceforge.net is pretty much orphaned and there's nothing at 
bugs.gentoo.org either...

Any help would be appreicated.

Thank you, in advance. Jerry

A follow up to my own request... the mentioned problem is fixed in 2.6.17-rc1. 
Hopefully it'll stay that way...

Did you get to test 2.6.17 yet?  I was having similar problems when I
tried 2.6.16 with my AMD64 cool-n-quite support.  It was working fine
in 2.6.15 so I just downgraded the my kernel back to 2.6.15.
