Hi everyone,
First of all, thanks to the developers for a great product - much appeciated.
I have a quick question on ProxMox in general and then specifically on VE1.6.
One of the reasons I am virtualising is to cut down on power consumption. As such, I'd like to make use of cpu frequency scaling to minimize overall power usage.
With the VE1.6 kernel, it seems that this is not possible? There was a post in May 2009 about this where the author got it going by loading the acpi_cpufreq module and then the AMD powerdnow module. Unfortunately, on VE1.6, when I do a modprobe acpi_cpufreq, I get the following message:
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.32-3-pve/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device
The kernel is unfortunately not compiled with configuration support in /proc/config.tgz, so I can't see if cpu frequency scaling is specifically excluded from the kernel or not (please enlighten me if there is another way).
Can someone from the Proxmox development team perhaps comment whether the kernel is perhaps built without cpu frequency scaling support or not? If it is, are there perhaps any other modules that I should be loading, and, if not, is there anyway the kernel configuration is accessible so that I can build a kernel with the necessary support ?
Thanks in advance...
