Package: cpufrequtils
Version: 007-1
Severity: important
File: /etc/init.d/loadcpufreq
The init script /etc/init.d/loadcpufreq contains several lines that
attempt to temporarily change the kernel's printk setting:
#stop the kernel printk'ing at all while we load.
PRINTK=$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk)
[ "$VERBOSE" = no ] && echo "1 1 1 1" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
followed later by two restore lines.
Unfortunately, printk is a global setting. This affects other init
scripts --- maybe even login sessions --- running in parallel, as is the
default now. This potentially causes important kernel messages generated
from that activity to be ignored.
