This is for booting of the installed system, or not?

Booting the installed system. install system doesn't use cpufreq afaik

then it's a yast bootloader config thing

A fix is in yast2-bootloader-2.13.71.

Prmgmt decided that this patch needs more testing before it can be accepted.

ak@: can you please test the packages in
     ~odabrunz/Exports/yast2-bootloader/153345?

Forgot to reopen this.

Sorry I don't have any bandwidth to reinstall machines now. Please ask someone
else.

move to 11.0
we should open a Fate request for this

reassign to yast2-bootloader maintainer

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.

Jozo, please, apply this patch immediatelly after 11.0 is out so that we get feedback of possible problems in the Alpha phase.

added to trunk...
