The kernel can be made to only load modules which it thinks are trustworthy. It can be used as a countermeasure against rootkits or the like. Add enforcemodulesig=1 as kernel boot parameter if you wanne play with it. In your case the module is not blocked but the kernel is merely flagged as tainted....

Thanks for the pointer. Please try phc-intel-pack-rev13.1 where I have fixed this stupid copy and paste bug.

Just updated phc-intel for kernel 3.13.

Please have a look at e.g. http://www.linux-phc.org/forum/viewtopi ... 6846#p6846 or open a new thread regarding phc-k8. Here is phc-intel land. phc-k8 is not my terrain.

(Power dissipation is proportional to the square of the frequency). It is to the square of voltage and linear with frequency. While undervolting does not change the performance, underclocking will as the performance goes down the same way as the frequency drops. For CPU-bound stuff its often more e...

Just updated the package to support kernel 3.12.

Debian itself is OK but I don't know about the rest of its familiy.

Bummer. Out of curiosity I went to Ubuntuland myself. Virgin 13.04. But I'm stuck with "ERROR: could not insert 'phc_intel': Invalid argument" too. As I neither have time nor urge to play any longer with it, I suggest you build your own kernel with the patch applied (or acpi-cpufreq as module), ask ...

:) Of course you need to build the phc-intel module. But you don't need to built your own kernel anymore - at least that's what the link I posted is promising. So get a copy of phc-intel from http://www.linux-phc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=267 extract it and make sure you have dkms installed on y...

Ehm, only to be on the safe side: You built and installed the phc-intel module beforehand. Did you? If the answer is yes: What happens if you just "modprobe phc-intel"? If no: build and install phc-intel and try again.
