| 09:26.54 | *** join/#debianppc knife (none@ool-18bbf34e.dyn.optonline.net) |
| 09:29.41 | pahartik | Madkiss: do you mean "cpufreqd"? |
| 09:32.51 | Madkiss | That as well, yes, but I think something is wrong with cpufreq here. cpufreqd has no effect |
| 09:36.25 | pahartik | Madkiss: so far i have only written characters to files in "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/" to tune frequency... and it works... |
| 09:36.45 | Madkiss | err, to _which_ files exactly? and _Which_ caracters? |
| 09:38.44 | pahartik | Madkiss: like this: "sudo dd if=/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq of=/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" |
| 09:39.00 | Madkiss | _err?! |
| 09:41.15 | pahartik | Madkiss: ...for example |
| 09:41.37 | Madkiss | That doesn't do anything to the processor speed |
| 09:43.08 | pahartik | Madkiss: it depends on which governor is active and what was lower limit and what was upper limit... |
| 09:44.32 | Madkiss | Okay, let's say the governor is "userspace" |
| 09:47.03 | pahartik | Madkiss: you probably want to define "scaling_max_freq" and "scaling_min_freq" and then set "scaling_cur_freq" |
| 09:47.40 | Madkiss | <0>iuno[843]:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq# echo 791999 > scaling_cur_freq |
| 09:47.44 | Madkiss | zsh: permission denied: scaling_cur_freq |
| 09:48.40 | pahartik | Madkiss: and if you have some daemon for tuning frequency, it might resist your manual changes |
| 09:49.59 | Madkiss | I disabled cpufreqd, that's not the problem |
| 09:50.17 | pahartik | Madkiss: actually, look at permissions, not all files are writable |
| 09:51.49 | Madkiss | pahartik: Exactly, and that is not changeable. |
| 09:53.16 | pahartik | Madkiss: if you change those that are writable to some frequency, what happens? |
| 09:53.37 | Madkiss | nothing |
| 09:55.54 | pahartik | Madkiss: how about using "powersave" or "performance" governor? |
| 09:56.18 | Madkiss | What would that be? |
| 09:56.52 | pahartik | Madkiss: i have used both and it is possible to change frequency |

| 19:56.19 | simonrvn | go for sarge, then you can pick between 2.4.x and 2.6.x |
| 19:56.39 | netbrain | not stable huh? |
| 19:57.02 | simonrvn | newer stuff doesn't do too well with woody |

| 20:03.39 | simonrvn | you don't have to build it yourself, and can help you figure what you need in your homebrew kernel, and you can use its config (in /boot) as a base to start doing up your own kernel |
| 20:04.12 | simonrvn | also ok defaults so if you need to install 50-100 machines they all have the same or similar kernels |

| 20:13.35 | simonrvn | what kind of mount? |

| 20:56.40 | p8m | With the kernel images you need an initrd.img because everything is a module, including the filesystems |
| 20:56.41 | simonrvn | stands for initial ramdisk |
