Bug#603487: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: CPU runs on lowest frequency only, does not increase anymore on demand (as it used to do before)

Ben,

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to make any difference, neither with
2.6.32 nor with 2.6.36...

Good guess! I was running from AC without the battery installed. When I
install the battery, but continue to run from AC, it works again. What
is causing the problem then? I guess a workaround would be to install
some laptop tools to prevent a full load of the battery; is there
another solution?


thanks! Florian
