Powerd Settings / Core2Duo miss identification

[Zeh Baptista]

hi!

i got this after enabling Power Daemon.
i have a Core2Duo processor and it seems to be unidentified by the system...

[root@thunderNAS ~]# powerd -v
powerd: using sysctl for AC line status
powerd: error reading current CPU frequency: Device not configured
powerd: using devd for AC line status
powerd: error reading current CPU frequency: Device not configured
CPU frequency is below user-defined minimum; changing frequency to 100 MHz
powerd: error setting CPU freq 100: Device not configured


Save Debug got me this :

- bug or should i configure something else ??
- anyone with the same problem and any solution for it?
- is there a GUI or easy way to set things up in order for powerd to work?

thanks in advance!

I don't use powerd options .. Mine is disabled in the Settings >> Advanced tab.. When I run Powerd - V I get this..

Code:

It appears throttling would work if I chose to use it.. is is running even though I don't want it to? BIOS related?

Yes. Start with the Core 2 series the CPUs self throttle down. It can be disabled in the BIOS usually. But not always.

well...
i'd like that to be true, but my Core2Duo seems to be always in full power.
at least it's always burning hot!! (more than it used 2 be with windows...)
