The following file doesn't exists at my Gentoo Linux /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load in 3.9.0 if I activate CONFIG_X86_INTEL_PSTATE=y That means, that a command like $> echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load in /etc/rc.local is now no longer working. A high fan + high temperature are the result, even if just the BOINC client is run with low prio (nice 19) in the back ground. Manually loading the missing module won't work too : $> modprobe acpi_cpufreq modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'acpi_cpufreq': Device or resource busy Is the behaviour a bug or a feature ? In the later case: How can I achieve the previous behaviour back ? This issue might affect the RH EL kernel too [1] where I observed a similar behaviour.
