Comment 3 for bug 10813

My Sony Vaio PCG-SR17 also has a PIII Coppermine that fails to install the
speedstep-smi module under the Hoary Hedgehog release. Here is my /proc/cpuinfo:

 processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : Pentium III (Coppermine)
stepping : 6
cpu MHz : 699.637

wp : yes

bogomips : 1388.54

Doing a modprobe speedstep-smi fails with:

FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_smi
(/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-686/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-smi.ko):
No such device

And the dmesg gets:

cpufreq: change failed with new_state 2 and result 0
