Comment 26 for bug 355232

Sure I have old hardware, but I have to recompile the entire kernel with module enabled for speedstep-centrino instead of just compiling the module in a few seconds, as I have to patch the driver for accepting the cpufreq tables for my Sonoma (stepping C0) 2.0 GHz Pentium-M which is not standard built-in (btw also affects all Dothans (stepping B0), only Banyas tables are built-in). BIOS won't enable acpi-cpufreq, of course, supposing it has got all the tables. I guess that this ug is 3 year old and never will be fixed despite solid argumentation and flimsy counter-argumentation.
