Re: Governor problem with generic 6.1 arm64 kernel on Raspberry

Now I am a step further. Hank has proved that on his system the governor works fine, also with X. As he uses the 1.21.1.7 from bookworm (stable), I cloned my oldstable card and dist-upgraded it to stable. The good news - the governor is working now. The bad news - when I try to play a video using

Sure I can write it in a script.. as you're using bash, there you go https://pastebin.com/4BtgHfjW As some of the /sys files are readable only by root, start it with sudo. When the governor works correct, the CPU freq should follow the scaling_freq, it may vary due to timing and other things.

Hi, Is there really no one who could and would just do that one test for me? I reproduced the problem with the actual 6.1.69 kernel from the Debian repository. 1. Boot a Rasyberry Pi 4 without X or other graphics running. Check if scaling_cur_freq and cpuinfo_cur_freq are in line. You also could

I have to admit that I drew the wrong conclusions. Some of my frequency readings were conducted within an x-terminal, some on a console screen, without X running. That, in fact, seemed to make the difference. Booting in any of the 6.1 upstream generic kernels works fine, including the governor, as

Hi Andy, I see your point... however the governor working or not seems to be a pure kernel issue, and Devuan does not support any arm platform and not build the generic kernels in the apt repository. Their repository is mainly fed from Debian one, with some changes when it comes to systemd vs. ini

Sorry for mixing things up. Chimaera is oldstable and thus corresponds to Bullseye... On Tue, 2024-03-12 at 11:14 +0100, Alex wrote: > Hi there, > > I am running a Raspberry Pi 4 with an oldstable release for a few > years > now. In fact, it is Devuan Chimaera, corresponding to Debian 11 > Bookwo

Hi there, I am running a Raspberry Pi 4 with an oldstable release for a few years now. In fact, it is Devuan Chimaera, corresponding to Debian 11 Bookworm without systemd. As the kernel images comes straight from Debian, I am reporting it here... I was and am running with a self-compiled kernel u
