Created attachment 134954 [details] fix for a cpuspeed startup script
Description of problem: /etc/init.d/cpuspeed is turned on by default but it may fail. At least on a start it checks for that condition but only after it produced a message which is not really relevant in the context (cf. bug 201463 which, in a sense, may be not a bug at all). 'service cpuspeed stop' may just fail by trying to read from a non-existent location and here a relevant check is just missing. Sure, one can always do 'chkconfig cpuspeed off' but maybe problems are only temporary specific to some kernels? Attached is a proposed patch to deal with the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cpuspeed-1.2.1-1.40.fc6 How reproducible: always on a machine where cpuspeed does not work
Eep, finally got mass-reassigned all the cpuspeed bugs over the weekend... I believe this one is taken care of in the latest rawhide build. I like the null-redirect on modprobing acpi-cpufreq, but not for $DRIVER. Since the user must manually specify $DRIVER, I like spitting an error if they screwed up.
