I'm running Sarge with kernel 2.6.6 on my laptop with a Pentium M processor and I'm trying to get powernowd up and running. But I can't. I keep on getting the above mentioned error:
powernowd: required sysfs objects not found
I've been searching around and AFAIK I'm doing what the resources tell me to do.
- I have the /etc/fstab entry:
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
- I have recompiled the kernel using the Enhanced Speedstep option and the following CPUFreq options:
Code:
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_PROC_INTF=m
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=m
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=m
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_24_API is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=m
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=m
# CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_PROC_INTF is not set
The problem is that powernowd wants to see the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor, but the cpufreq directory doesn't exists, and I can't create it.
What am I missing? Is there a web-resource that I've obviously ignored?
Thanks,
