Ok.. found some more info from the Kernel Team specs for Natty: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Specs/KernelNattyConfigReview
They have a general policy to build it in because, "it's hard to do in userspace". No idea what that means, or why no other distro has difficulty with building acpi_cpufreq as a module, perhaps something to do with upstart? In any case, if that's the policy why not just close this mark as won't fix and put an end to it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355232 Title: acpi-cpufreq/powernow-k8 should not be built-in into the kernel image -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
