Re: Cpufreq not working in 2.6.18-rc6

[Thiago Galesi]

Ok, apparently it is my fault...

I traced the failure to

if (cpufreq_driver) {
               spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cpufreq_driver_lock, flags);
               return -EBUSY;
       }

(cpufreq_register_driver in drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c)

Turns out I was modprobing acpi-cpufreq before modprobing cpufreq-k7.
This worked in previous kernels and apparently, not in this one.

If I do not modprobe acpi-cpufreq, it works.
