Description of problem: cpufreq doesnt start/work on my thinkpad T42, Pentium-M 1.7GHz, instead, the cpu just runs at the default frequency. In what is probably a separate problem in cpufreq, I compiled my own kernel (2.6.21.3), with the cpufreq drivers built-in, and the 'ondemand' governor works perfectly, BUT the 'conservative' governor seems to be broke: it never switches the CPU out of the lowest possible speed (for me 600MHz). Even at full load with glxgears running, it stays at the lowest speed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 How reproducible: Boot the kernel on a IBM thinkpad T42 and try to use cpu scaling. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
still a problem with the latest 2.6.22 update ? if so, please attach dmesg output after booting with cpufreq.debug=7 thanks.
I now have 2.6.22.5. Cpufreq DOES now start, but the 'conservative' governor still doesn't work right. However I don't consider it a huge problem because the 'ondemand' governor works fine. (I do believe that conservative is slightly better with power consumption but I may just be imagining that.) Anyway, heres the dmesg. I rebooted, the default 'ondemand' governor loaded. i started glxgears, it jumped to the full 1.7GHz. I switched to 'conservative' governor and ran glxgears and it stayed at 600MHz. >Time: acpi_pm clocksource has been installed.

Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged.
