Hi guys,

When I tried to set my cpuspeed manually doing a echo 1599960 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed, this command just hangs.

I checked the scaling_governor and it is set to userspace.

I tried that on both 2.6.7 as well 2.6.8.

My computer is a mobile pentium 4 2.8 ht.

I'm using the speedstep-ich scaling_driver.

Am I doing something wrong??

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Francisco Figueiredo Jr.
