Phantom Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) I noticed that my cpu isn't throttling anymore Even when changing modes using KLaptop there is nothing happening. This is my cpu info: vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 12 model name : Mobile AMD Athlon 64 Processor 2800+ stepping : 0 cpu MHz : 1603.984 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 pni syscall nx mmxext lm 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 3174.85 It seems to have slowed down to 1600Mhz instead of 1800Mhz. Normally it should throttle between 1800 - 1600 and 800 Mhz Edited May 21, 2005 by Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted May 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 This is becoming urgent as my lappy is getting very hot !!!! Adamw told me to use a different kernel to get rid of the NX codes in the 64bit cpu's (was stopping me from using ndiswrapper), could it be that the new kernel is stopping me from thottling ???

Phantom Posted May 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 The cpu is running completely at the wrong speed, 1604Mhz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Adamw, it seems to be coming back. I checked the kernel config file, and there is nothing for ACPI activated, how can I compile a new kernel but still make sure that the NX codes are disabled ?

adamw Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 ACPI certainly ought to be in there, if you've got a /proc/acpi directory with stuff in it, ACPI is working. I don't know the specific answer to the question, but what you need to do is disable the PAE extensions, if you can see where to do that.

Phantom Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I had a look in /etc/acpi but there is nothing related to the cpu, only for the battery [master@localhost acpi]$ ll total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 mai 21 20:57 actions/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 mai 21 20:57 events/ [master@localhost acpi]$ [master@localhost actions]$ ls battery.sh* [master@localhost actions]$ [master@localhost events]$ ls ac_adapter power sleep [master@localhost events]$ that's it.

Phantom Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I found where the PAE option is but it's grayed, I can't disable it, any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac_dispatcher Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Not a solution but may give you some ideas https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=17648&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 It isn't working at all, the cpu is only scaling between 1800 and 1600 mhz, even when the correct scalings are set in the config. Last night it worked for a moment by simple doing a Service cpufreq restart, but now it's not working anymore. This is starting to give me a It's no good for a laptop to be running at full speed all the time, they're not designed for that in regards to cooling. I might need to give up Linux for a while until this is fixed, a shame as for the rest it's fitting my needs. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
