Bug Description

The CPU frequency scaling does not work in Hardy nor in Intrepid.
The CPU overheats considerably.

The CPU Scaling works in Windows XP.

Information on the board is in:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1267&maincat_no=388

The processor installed is an Intel Penryn Mobile T9300.

I have checked the BIOS and unassembled it with iasl, and fixed the errors, but there is no difference.

This issue makes the CPU work permanently at maximum speed on both cores.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

I have tested with Windows and the same issue appears.
It seems it is an issue with the BIOS. I have reported it to MSI.
