When running with performance governor, freq must be highest. Can you add CPUFREQ_ENABLED="no" in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/cpufreq and try some things manually, pls. First, is this phenomenon always happening or does it only happen after some time? Try to load the cpufreq driver by hand (modprobe speedstep-centrino, if this does not work it should be modprobe acpi). Venkatesh, do you know about this one? Load governors by hand: modprobe userspace;modprobe ondemand;modprobe performance cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq echo ondemand >scaling_governor (does cpu get switched up and down on CPU load?) Let it stay down and try: echo performance >scaling_governor Is the machine on lowest freq now? If yes, we hit the bug. Does echo userspace >scaling_govornor;echo 2266000 >scaling_setspeed switch up to highest freq now? If yes, do echo ondemand >scaling_governor (does cpu get switched up and down?) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
