Description of problem: What happened to this sysctl? It appears that some stuff depends on this setting, e.g. kqemu. There is only a hpet.max-user-freq now and I get this funky permission error on 'sysctl -a': # /sbin/sysctl -a | grep freq error: permission denied on key 'kernel.sched_nr_migrate' dev.hpet.max-user-freq = 64 # /sbin/sysctl -n -q dev.rtc.max-user-freq error: "dev.rtc.max-user-freq" is an unknown key Also, there is no more /proc/sys/dev/rtc directory at all. Is this an artifact using CONFIG_RTC_CLASS/CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS instead of CONFIG_RTC? What should applications that were changing this setting do now? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.24-9.fc9.x86_64
/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max-user-freq
Ok, so the API changed. Will the 'sysctl' command be updated to search for sysctls under /sys/class now? I think the wiser move is to make sure the new rtc driver exports the same sysctls under /proc/sys that the old one did.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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.
