Subject: 2.6.31-rc3 cpufreq bug (null pointer dereference)
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 22:07:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1248206869.4516.6.camel@localhost> (raw)
Today, I tried to change the governor to conservative using the GNOME
cpufreqd applet. The applet subsequently hangs and the following appears
in the kernel traces:
