Hi there. The only problem I have using openSUSE 11.1 with my old Dell Latitude C600 laptop is cpu scaling. Now I know that there is a way to make it work, because some time ago I was using Kubuntu on whitch cpu scaling worked out of the box. Here is my dmesg output if it may help:
If someone could help me, I would really appreciate it 
Ok so it seems to be some sort of problem with the cpufreq module. When I try to modeprobe it I get the following output:
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.27.19-3.2-pae/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device
You can see my kernel version from the error message, it is the standard openSUSE kernel. I tried to build kernel from the source that came with it, but no luck, it fails during the make process.
Anyone has any suggestion? Should I try to build kernel from kernel.org?
