Comment 3 for bug 951673

I would be delighted to try the upstream kernel as I have finished testing 2.6.32-38 (with the following result):

uname -r
2.6.32-38-generic
grep -i fail /var/log/boot/log
 * CPUFreq Utilities: Setting ondemand CPUFreq governor... [fail] * CPU1.

I have made no changes to the hardware, (or even the BIOS) and have checked that the temperature of the CPU is no higher than normal. Even when I find a kernel that does manage to boot with CPUFreq it is as if something is deciding to disable it after a few seconds or minutes, and I can see that cpufreq-info has changed to
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 800 MHz.
