Hi Fabio, Sorry for waking up very late :) The reason why i am starting this thread again is due to problem reported by Joseph, with latest linux-next/master branch (which contains few big patches from me :) ): Reboot is giving following to him: * Will now halt [ 193.756068] Disabling non-boot CPUs...

Because following patch from me is sending a STOP/START to governors on cpu hot-[un]plug ? commit dbcb63407c095af73f3464767e00902cdee55e8b Author: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jan 12 05:14:39 2013 +0000 cpufreq: Notify governors when cpus are hot-[un]plugged For me, the answer is NO. Over that, i tried these patches on ARM bigLITTLE TC2 (3 A7's and 2 A15's) and my system wasn't booting at all for ondemand governor.
