Package: powertop
Version: 2.4-2
Severity: important

Hi,

It happened to me twice this week: when running powertop, it will not do
anything but print error messages of the form:

Loaded 750 prior measurements
BUG: requesting unregistered parameter 70
BUG: requesting unregistered parameter 75
BUG: requesting unregistered parameter 70
BUG: requesting unregistered parameter 75
BUG: requesting unregistered parameter 70

[ad nauseum...]

After a reboot, it worked again, but then today (after a few suspends) it
showed the same symptoms.

This bug has also been reported in other bug trackers:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powertop/+bug/1234299
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947425
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1334085 (reported as solved)

>From the bug reports, it'd seem that clearing the cache, or rerunning the
calibrate operation (which I have never run) solved the issue.

I can confirm that removing the cache files solved the problem, for now at
least. But this is still a very annoying bug.
