[Bug 612131] New: No cpu frequency scaling support without hal
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612131 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612131#c0 Summary: No cpu frequency scaling support without hal Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: vuntz@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: kasievers@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Apparently, the cpu frequency scaling support is only setup if you have hal installed, since it's some functions called from /etc/init.d/haldaemon So without hal, we don't have this anymore, which results in hot & noisy computers. I guess this should be moved elsewhere. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

hi guys,could this be closed? Thanks.
I don't know if this was fixed. The kernel people will know if powernow_k8 acpi_cpufreq are still modules or not (see comment #1). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't think this is a kernel issue, short of adding some sort of CPU detection support to the kernel for automatic issuing of uevents for udev to load the driver.
Kay suggested to not build powernow_k8 and acpi_cpufreq as modules. Wouldn't such a change just fix the issue? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Does hal do any harm to your machine, Vincent?
I don't think it can harm the machine. Or if it does, it'll be with things I won't notice for a while... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I rather readd hal to the distribution than changing kernel configs at this point.
I guess that stuff just belongs into: /etc/sysconfig/kernel::MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT= ? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What is this about now? Does this work for 11.3 and should the bug be against factory?
This only "works" in 11.3 because we've put back in the default install, and the hal init.d script loads the right modules. Anyway, we definitely want to fix that in factory... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If I have a lot time, I'd like to do it properly and provide a facility to autoload CPU dependent drivers.
Just wondering: do you have an ETA for this? If it's a long time away, it might make sense to just split the code from the hal init script in another init script for now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So we can close this issue for 11.4?
I guess.
I can take care to remove the stuff again, once proper CPU driver autoloading exists.
Please do, indeed: nobody else will remember to do so, else ;-) (since I likely won't be aware of the kernel change) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
