...I have an older low-voltage AMD CPU (probably about 2 years

scaling fails because it miscalculates the current speed to
800 MHz as well. Is there anything I can do about that? Where
could I check whether this CPU should be supported in full and
frequency scaling working?


The cpuspeed changelog may be relevant:

- Disable freq scaling by default on AMD rev F and earlier cpus
when running xen, due to clock instability (#435321)

I didn't look up your cpu, but I think it's a revision F.


Also, thanks for the /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed "ondemand" tip.

It seemed counterintuitive to explicitly specify the so-called
default governor value (i.e., "empty defaults to ondemand"),
but doing so did the trick under xen for my
revision G AMD processor.
