You got lucky.  It's completely broken (In part due to the quirky hardware
design of longhaul), and needs significant effort to fix.
(There needs to be infrastructure work done to quiesce dma from IDE/SCSI during
speed transitions, otherwise real bad things can happen ranging from lock-ups,
to disk corruption.)

It's possible you never hit it because you were using conservative which doesn't
change the speed very often, however in some cases a single transition is enough
to hit the bug.

I try to hang my machine. It's imposible with cpufreq. In worst case 
there is 2-10 secs freeze. But only when delta f is big (example 
532<->997). Only way to hang machine is "modprobe viafb" with hw accel 
enabled.

------- Comment #3 from protasnb@gmail.com  2008-03-11 18:18 -------
What is the status of longhaul now? There is another bug (5507) where the user
claims that driver does work, but he doesn't see any power savings. Is the
driver functional?
Thanks.
