dmesg output
Note: the problem still exists with kernel-2.6.8-2.521. Seems to be fixed in 2.6.9-1.667. |
Description of problem: When switching between min and max CPU frequencies with speedstep-ich, the system/X server hangs and I am forced to reboot/poweroff the system manually. Unfortunately, nothing was found to be logged. I am running FC2 on a Dell Inspiron 5150 with P4 3Ghz (Northwood) and Mobility Radeon 9000 video card. This occurs when trying to set the speed manually and through cpuspeed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.131 xorg-x11-6.7.0-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel (speedstep-ich built-in by default). 2. Output from /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/*: cpuinfo_cur_freq: 1599960 cpuinfo_max_freq: 3066590 cpuinfo_min_freq: 1599960 scaling_available_frequencies: 3066590 1599960 scaling_available_governors: userspace performance scaling_cur_freq: 1599960 scaling_driver: speedstep-ich scaling_governor: userspace scaling_max_freq: 3066590 scaling_min_freq: 1599960 scaling_setspeed: 1599960 3. $echo 3066590 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed $echo 1599960 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed or, $killall -SIGUSR1 cpuspeed $killall -SIGUSR2 cpuspeed Actual results: System becomes unresponsive. Expected results: cpu frequency switches between min and max speeds. Additional info: Attached dmesg output.
