what is "w d-u"? One thing you may want to check is if the configuration is preventing higher freq/voltages when the cpu temperature is too high. > Biggest prob. here is, once it spikes to C 100, it's not long til it > does a hard shutdown. Not good in mid-backup. well, sounds like you have worst problems than a software package not scaling up your cpu (how would that help with lowering the temperature?). Anyway, see if not having cpufreqd around helps although I doubt it. -- mattia :wq! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
