Celeron M - type processor question #6

Closed 0x0ade closed 11 years ago

0x0ade commented 11 years ago

I am having problems with Celeron M - type processors, I heard they mostly can't handle voltage / mhz scaling. cpufreq-info will yell something about cpufreq-drivers not found. In the BIOS there is no way to over-/underclock the CPU.

Is there still a way to do it? And how?

Using: Ubuntu 12.10 on Wubi 12.04 Intel Celeron M 900 eMachines E525 BIOS manually updated to 3.10 per Gateway support site

Not the best place to ask, but try to do: sudo modprobe acpi_cpufreq and then cpufreq-info again.

I know it isn't, I googl'd all the time. I also tried that, without success. I tought you can help because you made the plugin and maybe are knowing how to set up cpufreq on various CPUs.

Sorry it did not work. It can be because you're using ubuntu in Wubi. Or because your CPU doesn't support it.

:/ Still thanks. Wubi links HDD calls to a virtual HDD as far as I know so it can't be caused by it so I think my CPU doesn't support it (had luck that the Linux kernel in Ubuntu STILL supports the Celeron M900, most of other Celerons do not work)
