6 have you set the /etc/ncpufreqd.conf? also, have you started cpufrequtils as
7 a daemon and loaded the various cpufreq modules?!
8 without them ncpufreqd won't work. to see if it starts try looking at the
9 system log.

17 it's impossible for the thermal to be at only 50 when compiling unlimited
18 jobs. maybe the temp you're seeing is the core and not the thermal one. it
19 makes sense that core is at 50° and thermal at 95°.

32 then the tz01 is the processor core thermal and not the thermal itself. then
33 you should have another thermal zone other than TZ01. try looking in the
34 /proc/acpi. or better do a ls -lR /proc/acpi > proc-contents.txt and append
35 it here. it might be useful to see what your proc contains.
