Smells like you do not know yourself > what you try ;) I got the sources of my kernel (2.6.14-1.1653_FC4) and there is a /usr/src/linux-2.6.14/drivers/acpi/fan.c I copied the kernel-2.6.14-x86_64-smp.config file as .config in /usr/src/linux-2.6.14/ then ran "make oldconfig" without problems then I went to /usr/src/linux-2.6.14/drivers/acpi/ and done what I told you above. > >>>Why can't you start that service? >> >>I run "service cpuspeed start" (no OK displayed), then I check with >>"service cpuspeed status".

This, I cannot know: there is only the default cpuspeed.conf and there is no man for cpuspeed given with the tool... > Did you check > messages syslog file (i.e. dmesg after bootup)? Yes. no mention at all of cpuspeed. Best regards. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université René Descartes http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte
