[ltp] Re: [SLE] ThinkPad CPU frequency

[Michael Kershaw]

Hey James,
   When you boot up your laptop....is the power plugged in?  I noticed
on a previous kernel that I was running on my T40, that I saw the same
thing but only when I started the laptop without being plugged in.  As
long as I started the lappy while plugged in, and then removed the
power afterwards, that the Frequency would change appropriately.  If I
went about it the other way around, it just didn't work like it
should.  Don't know if this is what your seeing but who knows....maybe
it will help.

PS..do you compile your own kernel??? Or just let SuSE do it's thing?
