The Jaunty Jump: CPU Frequency Scaling
I could swear that there are some bugs with the new kernel because the most severe problems lay at very low level interfaces with hardware. For instance, my processor suddenly no longer supports cpu frequency scaling. That’s weird, because it does with <i>every other</i> distro. There were also changes within /dev as if my hardware changed.
I can’t afford to let my CPU run at 2GHz full time, otherwise it overheats and powers off. For now, I’m forces to use two fans (the ones for cooling PEOPLE) and a laptop cooler just to keep from reaching its shutdown temperature. In case you are wondering, it’s running at 102 C at the moment. Anyonr want to boil some water?
