yeah, I recall p4-clockmod being called out as problematic in several
ways by some kernel dev or other, but like you I can't recall the
details :/
on my system which wants to use p4-clockmod, I just blacklist it and run
full steam ahead all the time.
What I don't understand is that if the CPU supports ACPI, the mainboard
supports ACPI, why can't we throttle the CPU using ACPI?
From /proc/cpuinfo:
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca
