Hello,
i'm quite new to linux, so it is possible i'm making big making big mistakes.

I've been trying to get cpufreq working, and i have been failing miserably.

when i tried to compile a 2.6.8 kernel with a config from someone else with an s5200n, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/ is empty, and any program like cpufreqd of powernowd fails to find the cpufreq or something like that.
I tried multiple configs from the internet, and i tried altering them too, but i didn't get it to work.
I also patched the kernel with the cpufreq-speedstep-dothan-3.
patch, which didn't make much of a difference.

I hope anyone can tell me how i can get it to work.
You'll probably need more info to be of help, but i don't know what, so just ask.

thx.

ok, i got it to work.
I tried modprobe speedstep_centrino before i had used the cpufreq-speedstep-dothan-3.
patch, and back then it did not work.
with this patch however, it loaded.
i'm so happy
happy happy.
now i guess i'm going to reinstall debian cause i must have damaged some shit with my experimental and suicidal behaviour.
And when it's running properly, i can finaly sit back and learn some things about linux.
