Public bug reported:
On my ibook G4, so PPC machine - powernowd init script doesn't start powernowd.
Now cpufreq doesn't work with ondemand on these machines, and I found out the
problem in init script is exactly with the on_demand() function. It should be
noted that when switching to ondemand with echo there's no error, but simply
dmesg shows:
ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to
performance governor
and stays on the previous governor. So it's possible on_demand() doesn't know
how to detect this.
Either way I'm not so good with scripts and couldn't change the behavior by
forcing return 0 or return 1 on that function (i tried both - and they both
kept the same behavior. It seems the script thinks always that ondemand works
and skips running powernowd altogether. Only when I commented out the whole
if-fi section related to running on_demand() function, did the powernowd daemon
start well.
Should I post any other specific data to help fix this problem?
