[Debian-eeepc-devel] another prerelease eeepc-live image ready for testing

[Juha Heinanen]

i made some more cpu over-clocking tests of the live image on my 1101ha.
1101ha has six over-clocking modes that can be set in bios: 05%, 10%,
15%, 20%, 25% and 30%.  more matter what mode i set in bios before boot,
the contents of the files below is always the same after boot:

user at debian:~$ more /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/available_cpufv 
0 1 2 
user at debian:~$ more /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv 
0x300

when i then shutdown live image and check over-clocking setting in bios,
it is always back to the lowest value 05%, no matter what it was before
i booted the test image.

during boot, i see on console:

Setting super hybrid engine according to configuration (AC) ...

so i guess that this is what re-writes the initial value in bios.  if
so, it should not use the lowest value when on AC power.

one more thing: if i set over-clocking to 30% in bios and then boot live
image, kernel always crashes after printing the above text.  the
backtrace refers to acpi related stuff.
