Comment 4 for bug 359559

Hi,

I am getting the same issue.

Seems to me that the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq file is set incorrectly to the highest value.

Hope the below is of use.

---

mark@titanic:~$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
2793000 2660000 2527000 2394000 2261000 2128000 1995000 1862000 1729000 1596000 1463000 1330000 1197000
mark@titanic:~$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
2793000 *********** wrong. Should be the lowest value - 1197000 for me ***********
mark@titanic:~$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2793000
