The patch "linux-2.6-acpi-fix-sizeof.patch" breaks acpi-cpufreq on my laptop. It has been backported to fedoras 2.6.24 kernels (now removed again due to this bug). I was asked to report it here. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436959#c17 (starting from this comment). I will attach some debug infos after submitting this.
Created attachment 15377 [details] dmesg output with cpufreq.debug=7
Created attachment 15378 [details] acpidump output
Created attachment 15379 [details] cat /proc/cpuinfo
Created attachment 15380 [details] lspci output
Created attachment 15381 [details] dmidecode output
By break acpi-cpufreq I mean it fails to load with "no such device" and the cpu stays at max clock. I hope the infos provided are enough if not feel free to ask for more.

what is "linux-2.6-acpi-fix-sizeof.patch"?
Len, it's the patch at Bug 9558 #33 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=14351&action=view
The offending patch from bug 9558 was not included upstream. Unclear why it was included in fedora before it hit upstream or even the -mm tree, maybe that was a mistake. So this isn't an upstream regression, but rather it is feedback on the patch proposed for bug 9558. Closing as a duplicate of bug 9558. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 9558 ***
