Bug#609638: include p4-clockmod on linux-image
I have the same problem as Rogério Brito, Tue, 11 Jan 2011
A public school depends on two Fujitsu PRIMERGY Econel 200 servers of 5
(five) years old, containing Xeon 2.8 GHz processors, ...
If I compile a custom kernel, then I will miss the security updates, ...
hence I open a security hole.
The public school has no climate opportunity, therefore the Xeon
processor running 2.8 GHz in hot summer turns the ventillators on high
speed, risking a cooling failure.
Even a fixed 350 MHz setting would be a satisfactory solution for the hot
summers.
But if the p4-clockmod is not there in the official debian kernel release,
then I risk either a cooling failure or a security hole.
I can imagine a solution, that p4-clockmod will be included WITHOUT debian
guarante, ... that is, a bug report can be accepted only if the bug is
still there even if the p4-clockmod module is removed.
