[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.

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.

But we need a tiny boot param to be able to disable cpufreq: CPUFREQ=[off,no] would be hal compatible. There would be very old machines supported by powernow-k7 or speedstep-xy drivers, people would need to load them manually, hal tried to load: speedstep_centrino powernow_k8 powernow_k7 powernow_k6 longrun speedstep_ich acpi_cpufreq (speedstep-centrino can be removed it's more or less non-functional). I wonder why this found that late. When was hal removed?

It's fine that this would work for vuntz, but I don't think it's a viable replacement. I'm sorry that this was noticed so late, but I will go back to hal for the moment.

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.

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.

I guess.
