Description Andreas Kleen 2006-02-04 07:37:13 UTC 
We have a few bugs again that are triggered by powersaved or powersaved
triggering hardware bugs. To give these users an easier workaround
I would propose to implement a nocpufreq command line option.
The powersaved init script should check /proc/cmdline and if it has
nopowersaved don't load any of the cpufreq modules.

This is a good idea IMO, i'll take care of implementing it.
Comment 2 Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2006-02-13 21:26:09 UTC 
we now obey POWERSAVE=off in the start script which is given to us as an environment variable by init, so no need to check /proc/cmdline ;-)
Comment 3 Andreas Kleen 2006-02-13 21:28:21 UTC 
Thanks. But can you please make sure it's documented in the bootloader online
help and perhaps in the release notes? People need to know about this.

I tried. See bug #150613.
