Especially now, WITHOUT drivers? There is for example a HW based thermal protection. The HW will throttle (same technique as p4_clockmod) automatically and send a MCE (Machine Check Exception) to inform the user. Compare with: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/therm_throt.c Even if this should not be implemented, the CPU will always have a "switch off hard" mechanism in case of not working or missing fans and similar. > If the > answer here is p4_clockmod (or acpi-cpufreq), one might even think about > raising the importance of this bug, considering the potential overheating > isues, which are of course not uncommon in notebooks. As it's not only HP, but several vendors (every?) showing this issue with this specific CPU model, I expect it's working as designed. -- 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
