[Bug 267672] New: CPUFreq-info Reports only two possible Frequencies
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=267672 Summary: CPUFreq-info Reports only two possible Frequencies Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kingkookie@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de On an HP Pavilion ze4547wm laptop with a Intel Celeron 2.4ghz, I initially found that throttling my CPU wasn't working. After a few hours of research and troubleshooting, I was able to manually load the p4_clockmod, cpufreq_ondemand, cpufreq_conservative, cpufreq_stats, cpufreq_userspace, & cpufreq_powersave. Now cpufreq-info reports: cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006 Report errors and bugs to http://bugs.opensuse.org, please. analyzing CPU 0: driver: p4-clockmod CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 hardware limits: 2.10 GHz - 2.40 GHz available frequency steps: 2.10 GHz, 2.40 GHz available cpufreq governors: userspace, powersave, conservative, ondemand, performance current policy: frequency should be within 2.10 GHz and 2.40 GHz. The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency is 2.10 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). ------------------- The same p4-clockmod driver in ubuntu on the same system provides CPU frequency steps from 300Mhz to 2.40 Ghz. No BIOS changes have been made and I was running Ubuntu this morning before deciding to try openSUSE. Comments? Suggestions? Smart-remarks? Many thanks in advance. -- 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.

Kernel 2.6.21-rc7 System now scales between 300mhz to 2.40Ghz flawlessly. Perhaps consider this kernel upgrade to be automatically applied to all openSUSE 10.2 systems. Although, it seems Apparmor is not compatible with it. It requires it to be uninstalled during the upgrade.

So you gain nothing from it. But anyway, since a newer kernel seems to fix this for you, i'll set the bug to resolved for 10.3 -- 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.
