Description Mathieu JUCKER 2008-02-08 21:40:38 UTC

Hi,
After installation of the last kernel patch 2.6.22.16-02, cpufreq doesn't work correctly on my laptop. I have the same behavior as bug #357598 fixed by this patch.

To fix it, i need to reload acpi_cpufreq and set freq governance to "onDemand".
Laptop:asus W7J dual core

Hmm, the message is slightly different, than the others.
Please check whether this is fixed with the very latest update kernel.
If not, you see another problem (then pls reopen this bug).
