[Bug 360336] [NEW] Only 2 out of 8 cpufreq throttling states available

[scolbeck]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cpufreqd

With cpufreq on 8.10, only 2 out of 8 CPU frequencies are available.
Other than that, cpufreq seems to be working. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo
3Ghz (E8400) and a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R motherboard.  The CPU is not
overclocked.
