[gentoo-user] P IV power managing error

[gentoo-user] P IV power managing error

[Leonardo]

Hi, 
I tried enabling the ACPI power management for my notebook by
following the Gentoo documentation, but when I modprobe acpi I
get the error:

FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq
(/lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko):
No such device

however I can successfully load the modules:
ac battery fan thermal button processor

What's wrong? Below some more infos.
Ciao, Leo

Nothing is wrong, it just means that ACPI doesn't control the clock
frequency of your CPU.  Try using the p4-clockmod (?) driver instead.

Thanks Richard for the clarification, that works.
(modprobe p4-clockmod)

Ciao, Leo
