chocobanana Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) I always get this message when restarting or shutting down Mandriva. Why? I know they load properly because I have the modules listed in lsmod, but why can't they unload? Thanks Edited June 3, 2005 by chocobanana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I used to have problems with it loading, since my processor didn't support it. In a nutshell, it allows the speed to be altered based on running from battery or mains, plus some other stuff too. If you're not worried about this, cpqfreq can be disabled in Services, just by removing the check mark against it so that it doesn't start "On Boot".

chocobanana Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hi I know I can disable as a service, but it is one that I actually find useful. I would prefer to know what is the problem to unload it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Is there any other info with the error message other than it fails to unload? What version of MDK/MDV are you running? Is it up-to-date using the urpmi repositories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocobanana Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I'm using Mandrake 10.2 with all packages up to date. The error message is simply "unload cpufreq modules -> FAILED" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 What sort of Centrino CPU is present on your machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocobanana Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 It's Pentium-M 740 1,73ghz (Sonoma platform) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I get this also on shutdown - big glaring red capital letters "FAILED" - I'm running 2005LE on a Pentium M 1.6. When it's running, it seems to be running, so I kinda guessed it was ok that it was failing to be unloaded... maybe the order of unloading is wrong? </wildguess> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Does the /var/log/boot.log give any additional error messages before or after the FAILED error for cpufreq? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Here's an example from /var/log/boot.log : cpufreqd: cpufreqd shutdown succeeded cpufreq: Unloading cpufreq modules : cpufreq: failed cpufreq: ^[[65G cpufreq: [^[[1:31m cpufreq: rc: Stopping cpufreq: failed Nothing else looks relevant, nothing else to do with cpufreq and nothing else failed. At shutdown, the text which appears on screen is: Stopping cpufreq: Unloading cpufreq modules : [FAILED] [FAILED] with the [FAILED] a scary-looking red colour (where all the other messages are a nice green [OK].)

chocobanana Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Yes, that is what I have in boot.log. What is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 It was kind of similar to mine, although mine failed to load on startup. I only presume because my processor isn't scalable in terms of it's cpu speed. I just disabled it completely, and not used it. For me this is OK, but as you guys are wanting to use it, this isn't an option for you. I'm not sure what else to suggest. If your system cleanly shuts down, but just reports this error, and it doesn't have an adverse effect on your system, you could ignore the error (although I know it's nice not to have the error message at all). Hopefully, someone else might be able to provide a solution to clearing the error message, so that you don't get it at all. I'm just not sure how!
