1 Hi there!

3 I just encountered a mysterious phenomenon regarding cpufreqd. After
4 booting, it works properly for a while, including switching policies,
5 without any problem. Then, without any reason and without changing anything
6 in the configuration, cpufreqd fails to enable certain profiles, and at the
7 end it stucks at profile "performance", using the maximum of available
8 cpu-clockfrequency. The log is full with "Couldn't set profile"-Errors.

10 Even more mysterious is that it seems to be kernel-dependent. I couldn't
11 remember having had this problem with 2.6.24, so I switched back to
12 2.6.24-gentoo-r8, and voila - no problem, for nearly half a day.
13 As soon as I reactivate 2.6.25 or 26, cpufreqd produces the error-messages.

15 sys-power/cpufreqd-2.1.1
16 sys-power/cpufrequtils-002-r3
17 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r8 (works)
18 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r7 (problem?)
19 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r4 (problem?)
