** Summary changed:
- [hardy] Regression: powernowd no longer works with nforce2 cpufreq driver
+ [hardy] Regression: powernowd no longer works with some chipsets
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: powernowd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04
powernowd:
Installiert:0.97-2ubuntu4
+
+ Updated description:
+
+ Powernowd (the package) does not work with chipsets where the ondemand
+ governor fails. This is because now the powernowd init script only
+ actually loads powernowd (the daemon) if the ondemand governor is not
+ present.
+
+ Also gnome-power-manager now conflicts with powernowd as it also enables
+ the ondemand governor by default.
+
+ Original description of the bug:
In gutsy I added cpufreq-nforce2 to my modules list and then powernowd
nicely scaled the frequency on my Athlon XP 2400+. Now I upgraded to
hardy and frequency scaling does no longer work.
However if I do the following, it works again (until next reboot):
sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd stop
sudo powernowd -q
If I do an 'sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd start' when powernowd is not
running I get the following message in /var/log/messages:
"Apr 28 20:10:29 HANNO kernel: [10637.446135] ondemand governor failed,
too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor"
It seems that the init script loads the ondemand governor instead of
userspace governor. How can I prevent this from happening?
