After installing a newer kernel and rebooting the cpu scaling seemed to work - surprisingly dpkg didn't update grub so I was actually still booting the following kernel Linux shaggy 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
There must be something else related to the issue, so I will try the latest kernel ( Linux shaggy 2.6.30-020630rc7-generic #020630rc7 SMP Sun May 24 01:38:23 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux ) for a while and see if the cpu scaling works properly with it. Hopefully it will keep working correctly. It looks like there is either an issue related to uptime (cpu scaling fails after a certain amount of time) or suspending (as in bug #88899) which I do frequently. If this kernel proves reliable I will slowly move back through older kernels to try and find a kernel version that is listed for jaunty rather than karmic which has this issue fixed -- cpu scaling not working properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381588 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
