Package: cpufrequtils
Version: 004-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
actually if the user specify FREQDRIVER in /etc/default/loadcpufreq and this
one is unloadable (because of a typo or because doesn't match the real
device) no cpu frequency driver are loaded at all.
I attach the patch that make it possible to load the
MODULE_FALLBACK=acpi-cpufreq instead.
This is very usefull for me because i have two kernel image to load: one with
a patched version of speedsteep-centrino that load fine (have set
FREQDRIVER="speedsteep-centrino" in /etc/default/loadcpufreq) and one with
upstream version that doesn't work in my box: booting this last kernel image
acpi-cpufreq is loaded instead.
Cheers,
Andrea.
