Description Andreas Kleen 2006-02-24 11:02:51 UTC
Often we have problems with cpufreq and with this option it can be turned
off at boot.
Comment 1 Steffen Winterfeldt 2006-02-24 11:37:41 UTC
This is for booting of the installed system, or not?
Comment 2 Andreas Kleen 2006-02-24 12:17:56 UTC
Booting the installed system. install system doesn't use cpufreq afaik
Comment 3 Steffen Winterfeldt 2006-02-24 13:13:05 UTC
then it's a yast bootloader config thing
Comment 6 Olaf Dabrunz 2006-06-07 16:31:45 UTC
A fix is in yast2-bootloader-2.13.71.

Forgot to reopen this.
Comment 9 Andreas Kleen 2007-02-16 14:39:54 UTC
Sorry I don't have any bandwidth to reinstall machines now. Please ask someone
else.

Comment 11 Stefan Fent 2007-10-25 19:30:31 UTC
move to 11.0
we should open a Fate request for this
Comment 12 Michal Zugec 2007-10-31 09:07:45 UTC
reassign to yast2-bootloader maintainer
Comment 14 Jiri Srain 2007-12-06 09:51:14 UTC
This fix is trivial and I don't see any reason why the patch above should not work, it is correct (provided kernel behaves as expected). IMO not worth a Fate entry.
Comment 15 Jiri Srain 2008-05-21 07:54:02 UTC
Jozo, please, apply this patch immediatelly after 11.0 is out so that we get feedback of possible problems in the Alpha phase.
Comment 16 Jozef Uhliarik 2008-07-27 15:56:03 UTC
added to trunk...
