Description of problem: During boot of Fedora Core 2 test1, I was getting messages relating to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor. Someone suggested checking out the /etc/cpuspeed.conf. (RFE #1: Shouldn't this file be called /etc/cpufreq.conf and the service called cpufreq? I don't see why the terms cpuspeed and cpufreq are intermixed.) I don't recall the default now, but I have an Athlon 64 3400+, so I changed it to powernow-k8 (using no options). (RF@ #2: During install, if we detect an AMD64, can we change the default module?) Now I got: [root@selkirk /]# service cpuspeed start Starting cpuspeed: FATAL: Error inserting powernow_k8 (/lib/modules/2.6.2-1.81/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/powernow-k8.ko): Invalid argument Error: Could not open file for writing: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor Error: No such file or directory [FAILED] Looking at dmesg, we see the following: powernow-k8: Found AMD64 processor supporting PowerNow (version 1.00.08a) powernow-k8: voltage stable in 100 usec, ramp voltage offset: 2, isochronous relief time: 3, maximum voltage step: 0 powernow-k8: pll lock time: 0x2, maxfid 0xe (2200 MHz), maxvid 0x0 powernow-k8: fid 0 invalid : 0x0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux selkirk.krahmer.com 2.6.2-1.81 #1 Sat Feb 14 09:37:09 EST 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Always Additional info: This is the i386 RC, not x86_64.
