Outout of acpidump
Hi,
I own a brand new ASUS U45JC laptop with an Intel i5-450M CPU built in.
During the first compile on it, I noticed that the CPU reached max. 1.33 GHz
using governor "ondemand". Kicking the CPU with a kernel compile using
"make -j4" didn't help either, max. frequency was nailed at 1.33 GHz.
Both the latest stable 2.6.35.7 and release candidate 2.6.36-rc6-git2 are
affected.
After 2 days investigating (I'm not primarily a kernel programmer/developer),
I came across the solution, and there was already a patch available from
Thomas Renninger @suse, which I have included in this mail. I blindly
guess now that a lot of people own a notebook with an Intel i5 inside, and
maybe (could) have the same problem.
Any chance to get this included in the kernel, or is it just me who
encounters this problem? The patch applies cleanly against the latest rc,
and I can confirm that it also fixes the above mentioned problem in
2.6.35.7 (I backported it and did try).
Attached are the output of acpidump and dmesg, and the patch from Thomas
Renninger which fixes the problem for me. BIOS is the latest version 207 from
Asus.
Thanks,
Heinz.

Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized
environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security
easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the
two and get a better understanding.
