No, it is not your fault. The powernowd script which is launched during the initialisation do, among other things, load the cpufreq driver. This is choosen by calling another script, cpufreq-detect.sh. This script loads, for the intel cpu with the est flag, the speedstep_centrino module. This also means that, unless you change or disable this script, or that you force the unloading/loading of the modules through your own init scripts, that speedstep_centrino will always be loaded.
This is obviously wrong in light of this change in the recent kernels, and has to be corrected. -- Wrong CPU scaling frequencies https://launchpad.net/bugs/97042 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
