I would appreciate if folks could check their systems to see if this symlink is missing, to see whether there is a larger problem here. -- - mdz ** Description changed: Binary package hint: powernowd On current Intrepid, the 'performance' scaling governor is now being used by default on my system, whereas 'ondemand' was previously (Hardy). - Running "/etc/init.d/powernowd start" fixes it, so I assume something - running later than powernowd.early in the boot sequence is resetting it. + It appears that the /etc/rc2.d/S20powernowd symlink is missing, which is + where this value is set by default. - Since the kernel handles this itself now, I think we should probably be - setting this somewhere else and get rid of powernowd entirely in the - default install. + Post-8.10, since the kernel handles this itself now, I think we should + probably be setting this somewhere else and get rid of powernowd + entirely in the default install.
