But you see... I have since been able to throttle my CPU by sending a number to /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling. For example if I use the command "echo 4 > /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling", it forces my processor to only use 50% of it's speed. Although I am probably going to end up moving to the 2.6 kernel, I'm thinking that I'm at least going to wait for after 2.6.0 at this point (i.e. I'm learning to make stable systems). I'm thinking that I'm going to end up making so perl script that get run by cron that will change the throttling by load average or temperature, (I haven't decided which) but I wanted to see if anyone else has done the work. (Although from what I hear it might be just as good to just build the new kernel anyways).
