Subject: Athlon Mobile XP CPU speed problem
Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2004 17:23:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200404091723.55628.andre@ironcreek.net> (raw)

Dear Linux-Kernel developers,

My notebook [1], powered by a AMD Athlon XP2400+ (k7) is slowing down when 
running on battery. This happens regardless of whether or not cpu frequency 
scaling is enabled or not. /proc/cpuinfo still shows maximum frequency, but 
the computer is definitely slowed down considerably.

ACPI cpu info shows "throttling contro: no" and "limit interface: no".

It seems like the slowdown occurs out of control of linux cpu frequency 
scaling or ACPI.

What may cause this slow-down?
Is there any driver/kernel option which may let me control this behaviour?

Current kernel version used 2.6.5-mm1 with cpufreq and ACPI compiled in.

Thanks,
    André Eisenbach
