Hi,
Yesterday I tested 'cpufrequtil', but it looks as I don'T need it, so I
uninstalled it.
It loaded some modules per 'modprobe'. I searched per 'lsmod' and
already unloaded 'cpufreq_conservative' and 'cpufreq_ondemand'. CPU
graphs still show up, everything seems to be working.
But there is one module left which I'm not sure of, 'speedstep_lib'
which is loaded by the init script of 'cpufreq':
...
# try cpufreq hardware depend modules
for i in $(find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/cpufreq \
! -name speedstep-lib.ko ! -name p4-clockmod.ko ! -name "cpufreq_*" ! -name mperf.ko | sort -d -r); do
...
Is it safe to unload this module per 'modprobe -r ...'?
I want to avoid a complete reboot...
Thanks for all tips!
Best,
Matthias
