You probably need to enable Speedstep in your BIOS setup. I have: model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5120 @ 1.86GHz $ pwd ; ls | sort /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq affected_cpus cpuinfo_cur_freq cpuinfo_max_freq cpuinfo_min_freq ondemand scaling_available_frequencies scaling_available_governors scaling_cur_freq scaling_driver scaling_governor scaling_max_freq scaling_min_freq (In reply to comment #1) > You probably need to enable Speedstep in your BIOS setup. > I have: > > model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5120 @ 1.86GHz > > $ pwd ; ls | sort > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq > affected_cpus > cpuinfo_cur_freq > cpuinfo_max_freq > cpuinfo_min_freq > ondemand > scaling_available_frequencies > scaling_available_governors > scaling_cur_freq > scaling_driver > scaling_governor > scaling_max_freq > scaling_min_freq > Searching the documentation CD provided by HP with the computer, yealds no references to Speedstep :-( If you press F9 during boot you get the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility. Selecting the first option :- System Options and then the last :- Power Regulator for ProLiant Yealds 4 options :- HP Dynamic Power Saving Mode HP Static Low Power Mode HP Static High Performance Mode OS Controled Mode { the Manual shows the 4th option as "disabled"} I have tried all 4 settings. In all cases Power consumption is between 205 and 209 W, independent of CPU load. With none of the settings do I get the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq directory. I'd suggest seeing if there's a bios update for that machine. A number of other HP systems recently got bios updates that fixed non-functional cpu scaling support. Of course, those were primarily laptops with Core 1/2 Duo processors, but one can hope... (This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora! Per the previous comment in this bug, I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, since no information has been lodged for over 30 days. Please re-open this bug or file a new one if you can provide the requested data, and thanks for filing the original report! |
