I use Xubuntu 8.04.1 and get the following error at step 9:

I followed all steps except 7 and crashed at 9. I can’t see the error. Please help me.

here we go again

I have the same cpu like you. Did you try to undervolt your cpu with PHC allready?

I don’t know, but maybe you can help me.

I have here a Vostro 1310 with a T5870 and Ubuntu 8.04.1 2.6.24-19-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux (I know, its debian for dummies )

I created with this wiki:

_http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Prozessorspannung_absenken

and phc patch 0.3.1 a acpi-cpufreq.ko-modul, copied it to the ‘/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/’

After restart:

Code begin:

root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_controls
11:45 10:37 8:30 6:23 136:15
root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/phc_controls
11:45 10:37 8:30 6:23 136:15
root@x64ubuntu8041:~#

root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_fids
11 10 8 6 136
root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/phc_fids
11 10 8 6 136
root@x64ubuntu8041:~#

Code end.

1) Why 136?

If I try to echo (wiht tee) the new voltages into the phc_controls with 6 it doesn’t work, but with 136.

2) If I do this, then I get 800000. It must be 600000, right?

Code begin:

root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
800000
root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
800000
root@x64ubuntu8041:~#

root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq
800000
root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq
800000
root@x64ubuntu8041:~#

Code end.

If I try to set 600000 (with echo and tee) to scaling_min_freq, I don’t get any errors, but it doesn’t set it

But I think the multi 6 works in 1200mHz (6×200), because i can set 1200mHz.

The question is, how to set 60000 as min frequenz?

In the windose i can set the 600mHz (6×100) with rmclock successful and in linux 800mHz as min frequenz only

3) And this isn’t right too:

Code begin:

root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
2001000
root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
2001000
root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2001000
root@x64ubuntu8041:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2001000
root@x64ubuntu8041:~#

Code end.

The highest multi is 11, then it must be 11×200=2200mHz, right?

So, how to set the cpu to 600mHz and 2200mHz?

Thank you very much

forget the error in my last post plaese. I played back my backup for /dev/sda1 and i tried the game again, and voilla, it works without any errors

But at the first I did the ‘rmmod r8169′. Maybe it was not needed?

Anyway, thank you for help mate

Gruß und Danke

thanks for the tipp. After istallation of ‘linux-headers-2.6-amd64′ i could continue without any errors till:

x64etch: /usr/src/r8168-8.008.00# insmod ./src/r8168.ko

but I continued just till end and after a reboot the nic is working

But the error on enter ‘insmod ./src/r8168.ko’ makes me crabby

if i create a directory ‘mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-amd/build’ and try again, then I get this:

My lan works totally not stable. It works 3 times and then maybe 5 times not.

The following steps I did:

I installed gcc, make, binutils, pkg-config via ‘apt-get install’ succesful.

I downloaded and extracted the r8168-8.008.00.tar.bz2 via ‘tar xfvj r8168-8.008.00.tar.bz2′ and copied it with ‘cp -R r8168-8.008.00 /usr/src’.

If i look after ‘/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-amd/build’, it’s not present.

Guys, I dont know what to do and need you help
