kernel config
Oops, sorry - I forgot that attachments are possible.
dmesg output and kernel .config as requested. I'm sorry, I forgot that attachments are possible here. I just read that there are AMD X2 CPUs that can have different speeds on their two cores. Mine is an older socket 939 X2, which can change the frequencies only for both cores together.

/proc/cpuinfo
powernowd-1.00 has been comitted to the tree. please reopen if the problem is also seen there. thanks for the report - sorry for the delay. kind regards Thilo Thank you for closing that bug. I'm still running the same old powernowd-0.97 since March 2007 and now with the 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 kernel (and probably a long time before) on the same machine I didn't get these freezes. I tried to reproduce the problem with the lines that I wrote back then, but nothing bad happened, not even a noticeable lag. |
