Yupp, I'm sorry - a typo.

I patched Linus' 2.4.8 to 2.4.9, then to 2.4.9.-ac9, then to
2.4.9.-ac9-rmk2. Then I fetched cpufreq.c and inserted it into the kernel
source tree according to your instructions.

Exactly.
I double-checked it this morning by compiling everything again (monolith /
modules). Compiling modules brings other problems as well: enabling "Set
version information on all module symbols" results in kernel code which
aborts during the compile process with the following error:
-----
make -C arch/arm/mach-sa1100 fastdep

Can't imagine a relation between the timer and kernel module version
information...but I don't need modules at the moment anyway :)

Thanks - pure silence in this mailing list makes me nervous a bit :)
