Re: Tiny Core v17.0 upgrade issues

Hi Stefann
It's looking in the wrong place:

...

Code: [Select]

tc@hp510: ----- Snip -----

modprobe: can't load module p4-clockmod.ko.gz (kernel/drivers/cpufreq/p4-clockmod.ko.gz): No such device

 ----- Snip ----- ...

It should either try to load (full path):

Code: [Select]

/lib/modules/6.18.35-tinycore/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/p4-clockmod.ko.gzor in this case (current directory):

Code: [Select]

./p4-clockmod.ko.gz
You shouldn't need to do this, but try:

Code: [Select]

sudo /sbin/depmod -a
sudo /sbin/udevadm trigger
sudo modprobe p4-clockmod.ko.gz
If that fails, try:

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe /lib/modules/6.18.35-tinycore/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/p4-clockmod.ko.gz
If it still fails, try:

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/p4-clockmod.ko.gz

Thanks Rich,

I actually already tried full path already in previous post without success
But anyways... I tried all your suggestions but zero success (data at end of this post).

The strange thing is:
ls -l command clearly shows p4-clockmod.ko.gz to be present in the correct directory, and "not being zero bytes".
But modprobe reports it cannot find it there.

Anyway... don't break your head about it to much.
At least acpi-cpufreq.ko.gz  did work and I got valid content in  scaling_governor
This is my 2nd system "just being a sandbox".
I think I will stop the 5day run on my primary system tomorrow around noon, 5hrs shy of 5 days, Than I have plenty things to try in the afternoon.
- look for power spikes with osciloscope
- test power settings and measure with energy meter
- conclude towards a viable configuration and start it for at least a 24hr testrun.

thanks being with me on this!!
