I want to set the default cpufreq governor to userspace. Here is the relevant portion of my .config: ==== CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_PROC_INTF=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_24_API=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_PROC_INTF=y ==== Everything compiles fine, but when I boot into the new kernel, the default governor is still set to performance: $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor performance But the userspace governor is indeed available: $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors powersave userspace performance Any suggestions?
