Hello,
I'm playing around with 2.5.53 on my machine, and activating :
CPU Frequency scaling
Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation
results in a oops at boot time.
Details :
- Motherboard is P4S8X, 512 MB Ram, P4 2.4 Ghz
(if you need more details, please ask)
- Kernel : plain 2.5.53, no patch.
Do you need a copy of the .config ?
Oops, from a serial console on the machine :

Hi,
Thanks for testing cpufreq - and sorry for that oops. The attached patches
should resolve this problem. For further cpufreq updates, check
