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.
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).
has ondemand ever worked for you?
