thanks
yes, kubuntu 6.06 has an older kernel.
also, any idea why the cpufreq daemon fails to start? where can i get the error log? one thing i'm not able to understand is that i do not haf speedstep-smi modules in the lib folder. then how can that be loaded?

since the cpu speed scaling is controlled by acpi drivers, cud it be a problem wid those? how do i go about rectifying it?
