this is driving me nuts. I have a t8100 cpu, tried both kernels 2.6.29 and 30, but for no avail.
I have 4 stepping: 2.10 GHz, 2.10 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.20 GHz but under all governors, the max freq is 1.2 it changes here and there: cpufreq-info shows this:
Code:

the range keeps changing, due this thing, it took e 6 and a half hours to compile oo, almost twice than the average time.
most of the time, the computer is unusable.I have no idea what else can be done, I've checked the bios, all ok, that is the latest version of bios, running boinc, compile and revdep-rebuind keeps the freq at min...
I have no idea what to do.

it seems that when I'm not stressing the system, the range is right
maybe high load cause it to malfunction
