Please specify the relevant kernel package in the RPM field.

As a general request, identifiying the relevant RPM greatly helps in triaging and thus will help bugs be triaged faster, since we have limited resource for those tasks. You're welcome to join the bug squad team, that said, given how used you are to using bugzilla :).

Ok, my bad, it's not from the kernel but from drakxtools apparently, since it creates the cpufreq file.

As a general rule, I supply the offending rpm package when I can run down the full file name on the system.

Thank for your kind offer, but I have all the spinning plates in the air that I can manage at the moment. :)

Large amount of time being wasted just getting a reliable log out/in plasma session and/or getting my release 6 back to booting up under 50 seconds.
Up to yesterday it was taking +2 minutes.

I have my custom Mageia url link pointing to any new/change bugs in the last 3 days to help make I don't open too many duplicates  :(
have pretty poor luck running down something I was pretty sure was in the database.

It might be a side effect of the harddrake service:
http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/tree/perl-install/cpufreq.pm#n100

We should maybe be stricter for matching powernow k8
Can you attach the content of your /proc/cpuinfo file?

Converted my setup to use systemd-networkd for 20 mil-second per nic improvement in boot time.

Comment 10 r howard 2021-03-06 06:31:17 CET
I see the same problem after I run an upgrade from one version of Mageia to another.
For example from 6 to 7 or from 7 to 8.

I work around this by removing powernow-k8 from /etc/modprobe.preload.d/cpufreq 


Unfortunately if there is an upgrade of Mageia then /etc/modprobe.preload.d/cpufreq gets overwritten with the wrong info.


By the way the system has an AMD Athlon II X4 635 Processor

Note that acpi-cpufreq replaced powernow-k8 for modern AMD CPUs starting with kernel 3.7
