The init.d script included with the 0.99 and above ebuild for sys-apps/cpudyn check to make sure the proper cpufreq governors are present for cpudyn to function. The script checks for the userspace, performance, and powersave governors, however cpudyn does no use the userspace governor. Hence, the script fails unnesessarily if the userspace governor was not compiled into the kernel or loaded as a module. Note that it only loads the performance and powersave modules. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure/compile/use a kernel with cpufreq enabled with only performance and powersave governors 2. emerge cpudyn 3. /etc/init.d/cpudyn start Actual Results: * Starting cpudynd... * 2.5/2.6 CPUfreq support needs userspace, performance and powersave governors * Missing userspace [ !! ] Expected Results: * Starting cpudynd...

Created attachment 41628 [details, diff] Suggested patch Here's my suggested patch to fix the problem, it's simply a removal of 'userspace' from the argument list for the for loop that checks for the governors.
removed the check all together
