Hello,

I've tried kernel 2.6.24-rc2 and I have a problem with the new option for setting up the cpufreq ondemand governor as default: a kernel
panic happens early at boot time. If I boot first with performance
governor and later change to ondemand, everything is fine (as usual).

This seems related to the delayed_workqueue. The kernel panic message finishes by:
EIP: [<c012aa60>] wq_per_cpu+0x0/0x10 SS:ESP 0068:c191be58
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

A picture of the whole message is available here:

My computer is a x86 using speedstep-ich, and you can find the full .config leading to the panic attached.


has ondemand ever worked for you?
Yes, ondemand works perfectly fine on this computer. The panic happens only if selecting it as the _default_ governor (which has been introduced by commit 1c2562459faedc35927546cfa5273ec6c2884cce).
