Similar problem here on an x48 motherboard with an e8500 cpu. Although I find it works ok on kernel-2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.x86_64 but not on kernel-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.x86_64 or kernel-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64 Still present in 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64, changing Version: to F10. Apparently to fix the problem it is sufficient to do modprobe acpi_cpufreq echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor before logging into the GNOME session. So the problem is that the acpi_cpufreq module is not being loaded automatically. My own vanilla kernels have this module built in, and I also select the ondemand governor as a default in my kernel config. I am not sure about a proper fix in Fedora startup scripts, though. it should be getting loaded by the cpuspeed service, make sure that's enabled. If it is already enabled, can you boot the fedora kernel with cpufreq.debug=7, and attach the dmesg please? Created attachment 355140 [details]
dmesg output
dmesg output for me:
(in reply to comment #4) My cpuspeed service has not been enabled. chkconfig cpuspeed on fixed the problem for me, sorry for the noise. Before closing the bug please wait for Chris Parkin's response whether his problem is the same. I cannot start the cpuspeed service. running cpuspeed in a shell fails to start it as well: [root@warpcore ~]# cpuspeed Error: Could not find any CPUFreq controlled CPU cores to manage (In reply to comment #7) > I cannot start the cpuspeed service. > running cpuspeed in a shell fails to start it as well: > > [root@warpcore ~]# cpuspeed > Error: Could not find any CPUFreq controlled CPU cores to manage Your BIOS is apparently broken and does not support cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init ACPI Warning (dsobject-0502): Package List length (1D) larger than NumElements count (3), truncated [20081204] ACPI Warning (nspredef-0940): \_PR_.CPU0._PSS: Return Package type mismatch at index 2 - found Integer, expected Package [20081204] ACPI: Invalid package argument ACPI Exception (processor_perflib-0297): AE_BAD_PARAMETER, Invalid _PSS data [20081204] [Firmware Bug]: BIOS needs update for CPU frequency support It worked fine under kernel-2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.x86_64 And works fine under Windows But it's not worked under linux since kernel-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.x86_64 M/B is a LANPARTY DK X48-T2RSB PLUS This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
