[Bug 16961] Re: System freezes whilst powernowd stepping up AMD64 freq (intermittent/hoary)

[Jacques Stadler]

The only Solution to this so far is to do it staticaly with:
echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

where powersave could be replaced by one of the following:
userspace powersave ondemand conservative performance
listed in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors

But as I just see this can also be done with the gnome-cpu-frequency
applet. :)

Hope this going to be fixed anyway...
