AFAIK this is the last supported Pentium M in the vanilla- kernel 2.6.7.

Yes, indeed, that is the given line....

How do you throttle your processor manually?! When I power my maschine
on without ac plugged in, it runs permanently with 600 MHZ. When I
switch it on plugged in, it runs with full 1800 MHZ all the time.

cpufreqd complains about some missing /proc/XXX thingies...

Perhaps I should give it a try with speedfreq. Thanks for the tip.

cool, I will try.

anyway, thanks for your suggestions.
