Did you > try enabling some of the other cpufreq drivers? I tried with the P-state driver compiled in with the Athlon driver, or only with the Athlon driver without P-state. The result is the same, when I try to set a governor through sysfs the system freezes and a hard reset is required. However without P-state driver the above message disappers. So I'm getting neither scaling or throttling... it's not much a surprise that the battery was discharging at that rate... -- ---------------------------------------- Daniele Venzano Web: http://digilander.iol.it/webvenza/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
