Any ideas from were could be the problem? Some additional info follows: $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor performance $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : CyrixInstead cpu family : 5 model : 9 model name : Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 300.672 cache size : 16 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu tsc msr cx8 cmov mmx cxmmx bogomips : 591.87 $ echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : CyrixInstead cpu family : 5 model : 9 model name : Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 37.095 cache size : 16 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu tsc msr cx8 cmov mmx cxmmx bogomips : 73.02 Best regards, Jose Goncalves
