Error inserting acpi_cpufreq: Input/output error?

Hi,
I'm trying to set up frequency scaling on my Intel i5 760 as per the wiki.
The only problem is I can't seem to load the acpi_cpufreq module!
# modprobe acpi_cpufreq
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.39-ARCH/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko.gz): Input/output error
There is no additional output in dmesg from this error.
I'm running x86_64 btw, and I notice that it's trying to load an x86 module, could this have anything to do with it?
Thanks!

Hi
Did you find a solution? I'm having exactly the same problem with acpi-cpufreq. (eeepc 900). I tried modprobing the p4_clockmod as well, which some older posts say is required for my machine, but I got the same error.
Both modules appear to be available -
ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/
acpi-cpufreq.ko.gz     gx-suspmod.ko.gz  mperf.ko.gz        powernow-k6.ko.gz  speedstep-ich.ko.gz
cpufreq-nforce2.ko.gz  longhaul.ko.gz    p4-clockmod.ko.gz  powernow-k7.ko.gz  speedstep-lib.ko.gz

    I guess your problem is related to StarOffice8, right?
    I had the same issue after upgrading StarOffice7 to StarOffice8:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5287604&tstart=0
    Apparently the .StarOffice8 directory in your export/home directory was created based on .StarOffice7
    directory. Probably here something went wrong. Maybe a bug.
    So the solution is very simple:
    rm -r .StarOffice8 in your export/home directory and restart StarOffice8.
    Or you can also rename the directory.

  • OpenOffice/Go-Office Export to PDF General Input/Output Error

    Okay so I am using the openoffice 3.2 from the latest go-office package. 
    Whenever I try to export something as a pdf, it gives me the following error message in a little window:
    Error saving the document: Untitled 1
    General Error.
    General Input/Output Error.
    I have checked to make sure that I have installed all of the optional, PDF handling packages for openoffice, but I still get this message.  It's odd though, it does export the document to a PDF, but the quality of the font and the images is really bad. 
    Is there any way to fix this? Is this something I need to do a downgrade to fix? Do I need to install the openoffice package instead?

    I have the file MacHelp.help in the reported position under Harddisk Lbrary (and not in Library of user's Account - mine Folder Help is empty).
    During the Repair of permission the Mac freezes while checking these part and later resumes.
    The Mac is working without apparent problems.
    Any suggestion ???

    Forgot to say that the file MacHelp.help is reported by Finder to be a Final Cut Express file. It opens and happens to be a general help file for Mac with links to other Help

    Thanks for your suggestion. The original disk was Tiger. Now I have SnowLeo.
    I will try to do it with SnowLeopard disk.

  • External Hard Drive Input/Output error

    I recently started having problems with an external hard drive setup that I did not have problems with prior to upgrading to 10.5.5 and trying to setup the drive to be compatible with Time Machine.
    The hard drive enclosure that I have has 2 bays for two SATA drives. I have used this enclosure without any problems until I tried to get 1 drive to act as the backup drive for Time Machine and the other to be storage. I formatted them using Drive Genius. I used the option for GUILD or GUIL which it said was the better format for using with Time Machine.
    The first problem I ran into since upgrading and reformatting the drives is I got an "input/output" error the first couple times I connected the drive via USB to my Mac. I could still use the drives but I got weird errors every once in a while like "input/output error" or "device was not ejected properly" even though the device had not been unplugged.
    Now the drives will not mount using OS 10.5.5. The drives show up when I open Disk Utility, but I cannot get them to mount. I have ran Disk Utility First Aid, and it says the drives are fine. There is one error that shows up when I run the "Repair Disk" feature. It reads "Invalid content in Journal". But Disk Utility also says "The volume was repaired successfully".
    I have seen some posts when I do a search in google about this issue and it seems this is a known issue. Every suggestion I see says to insert your Tiger DVD and reformat the drive using that and the problem will be solved. The only problem with that is I have a lot of important files on the drive that I cannot lose. I had the files backed up until I moved them to the new drive a while back. Now I do not have a backup because I was in the process of switching to bigger drives and erased the old drives after doing so because everything was working fine.
    I am hoping someone out there may have some suggestions (other than erasing the drive) to get my dives to mount so I can transfer the data off to another drive and reformat after.
    Thanks,
    Paul Rugg

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Do you think that would work better than Drive Genius? I bought Drive Genius 2 and it does not even see the drives when they are plugged in unlike Disc Utility which can see the drives but cannot mount either one.
    Maybe this following post I made to a different questions may help. The data on the drive is other buying another program for if it will work. I think my next step may be to go over to a friends place and try to mount the drives on his computer and transfer stuff off if they connect.
    text below posted to other question relating to external hard drive problem.
    I have recently had the same mounting issue with my new external hard drive. I just purchased a new 750Gb Western Digital Sata drive and got everything transfered over to it. Immediately, I got an error saying that the drive had been ejected incorrectly even though it was still plugged in. I was a little curious. I restarted the computer (hard drive still plugged in via USB 2.0) and the drive showed up just fine. I plugged another 250Gb drive into the same case (2 bays) and the 250GB drive showed up just fine.
    Well, I then noticed there was an OS upgrade available when I ran Software update so i ran it and when I rebooted the drives were gone. I can see the drives in Disc Utility, but they will not mount. Drive Genius cannot see either disc. Disc Utility says I need to repair the drives, but when I do it says they are fixed but they don not mount.
    The problem really seems to be related to mounting USB external drives. I got ahold of 2 seperate external firewire hard drives and one shows up just fine while the other has the same problem (both work on other systems. I would try wiping the drives and reformatting but ALL MY stuff is on them and not everything has been backed up. Yuck! I have not tried connecting my hard drive to another Mac yet.
    The drives being used are #1 Maxtor Maxline Plus II 250GB SATA/150 HDD 1.5b/s 7Y250m00654ra
    and #2 Western Digital WD7500AACS WD Caviar GP Green Power drive.
    I have another post similar to this and I have not received any feedback, but I have been doing my own searching and have found similar posts on the net.
    Anybody have any clue what might be going on here? It really seems to be related to my upgrade.

  • External Hard Drive not Readable & Input/Output Error?

    I was using my OWC 300gb external hard drive for a while and it's worked great. I had a bunch of files on it, but I recently transferred everything to another external HD I have, which worked fine, so I could erase this 300gb one. I can't remember what happened, but somehow my Macbook doesn't recognize this hard drive. I think erased everything and then unplugged it without ejecting it first. Anyways, nothing is on the the drive anymore and I get this error message:
    "The disk you inserted was not readable by your computer"
    This pops up when I restart my Macbook. When I try to use Disk Utility, it greys everything out on the partition and Disk Repair tabs. On the 'Erase' tab, it will allow me to select Erase, but then gives me the error:
    "Input/Output error"
    Does anyone know how to get my Macbook to see my drive (so I can start to partition it)? For some reason only Disk Utility acknowledges it's there, Finder won't.
    Anyone have any tips of what it is or what I can try? I did try to use my OS discs booting up holding C, but that doesn't work either.

    Hi there. Everyone is saying on these forums that the hard drive is failing...suck. I went and bought a new when I got input/output error and found that the new one showed the same input output error, making it impossible to partition the disk. Then the guy in the apple service center told me the new one was bad too, after having seen the code that came up related to my new scorpio 250 GB drive. Instead of sending it back, I took it out and installed the old one..however this time with a slihtly more of pressure on the tape holding down the hard drive cable between the hard drive and the circuit board. Amazingly, this time it didn't even show any hard drive at all! Then I understood what was wrong. It was exactly what was indicated an "input/output errror"! ..the cable was broken. I bought a new cable, well the Powerbookmedic sold it as new but it was an old working one that arrived. Immediately, after change of cable the old hard drive and now also the new 250 GB works perfectly! I remember that some interesting symptoms prior to all hard drive problems appeared, such as not being able to start up properly, strange blue screens, flipping question marks etc. I remember that shaking the comp occasionally worked to get it going. No wonder, shaking occasionally made it work and i believe the damaged cable maybe changed position and started conducting. The cable is very sensitive and probably should not be taped down so hard as the first service center guy at apple had done with mine when he fixed it the comp a few years ago. Polymers/plastics bent heavily become fragile/brittle with time and are specially sensitive under pressure/bent. Note that my old damaged cable still conducted and showed the hard drives but didn't work fully. I hope this will help someone, it took me 2 month to figure out..

    I have similar problems with my USB external HD. Reformatting or repartitioning will not solve your problem. I've tried that 2 times already. The problem will reappear. My HD was running great until last month, when it suddenly without warning disappears from disk utility and the mac altogether. It not only dismounts itself, but also ejects itself, while still physically connected and the power is still on. The HD has its own power supply of course and is directly connected to one of the iMac USB ports. I have erased, repartitioned, disk verified, rebuild spotlight indexes, cleared PRAM and NVRAM, but nothing has solved the problem.
    It is application independent, and not related to like iTunes as another post had suggested. Nothing to do with Mac applications. It seems to be USB related.
    Messages in the Console seem to indicate something wrong with 'USB transactions passed their expiration point' and 'USB cannot enumerate something', but these statements are a bit cryptic to me. Perhaps an Apple system engineer can someday shed some light here.
    thanks much for any assistance.

  • Input output error samsung ssd mac 09

    I bought a Samsung SSD 840 EVO drive because my drive from my macbook had a destroyed file and broken.
    Yesterday I tried to partition the drive into 1 with GUID but the error came up with :
    POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory
    I used a USB stick with an installation on it
    Today I tried with a CD with mac os x the same procedure but this time with a different error:
                    Input output error
    With both examples I also tried to erase the drive but with the same error 1 and 2.
    I am not sure what to do next. Hope someone has a solution.

    Either the drive, the SATA cable, or the logic board is faulty. Make sure the cable is not damaged and is securely inserted.

  • I am in mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book will not boot up & stays only on the grey apple screen. When I verify the disk I get open error5 :input /output error on Syst stuck on 1 minute pouring out over 50 error messages & still counting

    I am in Mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book pro will not boot up &amp; stays on the Apple grey screen . When I verify disk permissions I get
    Open error 5:"input/ output error" on syst with over 50 of this messages &amp; still counting . Disk Utility says 1 minute
    But this has been going on for over 10 mins .
    I can not verify disk or repair disk .
    I have tried to reinstall mavericks operating system but it says my hard drive is locked which is very strange .
    Does anyone know what is going on here ?
    My system looks like it has been totally corrupted . Thanks Andrew

    Could be. The "lock" isn't actually looking for a password.
    WARNING: This will completely erase the ENTIRE hard drive.
    What you would need to do is boot to recovery > disk utility > select the MAIN drive on the left side > partition > change partition layout from CURRENT to 1 PARTITION > ensure on the right side it says Format : Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) then push APPLY.
    Then if it will allow us, close the windows until you see the 4 options popup again and select "Reinstall Mac OS X" select the Mac HD and you should be good to go!

  • Disc image input/output error

    When burning a disc image using disc utility, I get the ever so popular input/output error message. I cannot find anywhere on these posts a solution to this problem. It is not dirty discs, etc. It happens when I try to copy dvd's... which are not licensed, etc.

    Could be so many things, Input/Output errors are generally loosing contact with a device for a variety of reasons, do you get any error # with that?
    Open Console in Utilities & watch for more info whn you try to burn, or open the Disk Utility Log if there.

  • "input/output error' when making disc image from DVD

    I've had problems installing Logic, and a Pro Apps Genius at Applecare suggested I try making an image of the problematic DVD (Audio Content 1) and then trying an install that way.
    While I can make an image of the Install disc to my desktop fine, the Audio Content 1 disc reports an "input/output error".
    This means I'm unable to copy the disc and then successfully install my Logic Studio.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your answer.
    Yes, I thought that might be the case - but I'd taken my Mac and Logic disks to a Genius bar, and the 'Genius' had said he'd fixed the issue. I just wish he'd explained what he did and why he didn't replace the faulty disk(s)!
    But is there any way around having the claim a disk, now I'm living abroad and my 'warrantee' has run out? It's going to be a pain in the fundament trying to claim a replacement set.
