Just seems to be getting more f'd up. Now the box doesn't come up to delete the line. Can't I just open the file and edit and save it?

Yes. That's what you need to do to get rid of the extra lines. That's what Reply #21 is about, just opening the file and editing it.

[kbz1960]

They are out now, same thing it's a no go.

[kbz1960]

Why did it not install the right hardware/cpu driver when installed or did I f it up somehow?

[kbz1960]

It's bed time, ran this again and now it finds nothing.

You need to reboot for the modprobe.preload file to be read, It has to have only one line per module when it's read. You now have that, but haven't rebooted since you made the last edit, removing the extra lines.

Reboot again, run cpufreq-info after the reboot, post your results, then wait for the next instructions if it isn't working.

[kbz1960]

Yes I have rebooted, and do notice that coffee has powernow on the k-6 k-7 that I copied. Will reboot and try again but it will be the same.

[kbz1960]

Rebooted

Back in windows because it was going to shut down or fry again.

Rebooted

OK, the driver has not loaded. We will try to load it manually. Do the following commands only, and post your results.

[root@localhost kevin]# modprobe powernow-k8                         <Enter>

If you receive an error like last time, stop. Then report the error message. Wait again for next instruction. It will depend on your next post.

If you get no error message, then do;

[root@localhost kevin]# cpufreq-info                                  <Enter>

Post the result.

Do not do the second command if you get an error message from the first command.

Saw your last post while writing this.

Shut down and let things cool off overnight. We can pick up on this tomorrow.

Yes I'm going to bed and thanks so much for trying to help this noob. It's 10:30 here and I have to get up at 4 to get ready for work. Have a great night and don't spend too much time on this.

Thanks again.

Post the result.  I want to be sure of the exact kernel that's currently running.

[kbz1960]

Hi, at work with no internet access for my laptop but don't need it to give you what you want.

The kernel is 2.6.33.7-pclos6.bfs

[kbz1960]

Another question, I've been searching but haven't done anything yet but............... is it suppose to be powenow or powernow? Everything I seem to find is powernow, not sure if the time I did get a response if I copied coffee's post or if I typed it and typed powernow instead of powenow. He does have powernow in the k-6 and k-7 but powenow for the k-8.
