https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12482 Robert Bradbury <robert.bradbury@xxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |robert.bradbury@xxxxxxxxx --- Comment #10 from Robert Bradbury <robert.bradbury@xxxxxxxxx> 2010-06-25 07:15:41 --- Comments on Gentoo Bug #287463 and Kernel Bugs #14066, #14771 and #16072 may be related to this. It is clear from my experience with cpufreq_ondemand and acpi-cpufreq since Linux 2.6.30 is that there are very few people who really understand the issues involved here. The general tone from the "kernel" developers seems to be that cpufreq_ondemand (and indirectly p4-clockmod.c) are "deprecated" in favor of using acpi-cpufreq. This is without taking into account that for acpi-cpufreq to work correctly it needs an Enhanced Intel Speedstep processor *and* a compatible ACPI BIOS with _PCT code(*) -- and there are a *lot* (presumably millions) of machines in the world for which this is not the case. * This only applies to machines with Intel Pentium class processors presumably. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cpufreq" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
