I followed this guide http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml, but on booting there seem to be some errors when starting cpufreqd, i dont know what the errors are and i dont know how to check, But once i have booted and logged in the cpu always works at 100% and it isnt steping at all? Has someone had the same problem.

Have you looked in the /var/log directory for the relevant log file? I'm not at my machine right now, so I'm not sure which one off the top of my head.

Have you checked your cpufreqd.conf file, like it says in the log? Can you post it here?

Unfortunately, I don't use cpufreqd - I use cpufrequtils, which I find much easier - so somene else me be better informed to help you. But, just as a thought, do you have the cpufreq govenors listed in your conf (ondemand, conservative etc) file selected in your kernel?

Cheers,
Andrew

No, in the kernel configuration. Try

You're using cpufreqd-2.0.0 and the format for the config file has changed since cpufreqd-1.x. Now you need to close all [Profile] sections etc. with ending tags like [/Profile]. See http://dev.gentoo.org/~earthwings/pmg/power-management-guide.html#doc_chap3 for the new format.

Please post your /etc/cpufreqd.conf.

The error messages and the config file don't really fit together. E.g., you don't list the apm plugin, but it tries to initialize it. Furthermore all [Profile], [Rule] sections are closed. Try to run cpufreqd by hand and check the output. I think you can also specify the config file as parameter, try that.
