Code:
ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor


Any Ideas what can be causing this?


ThinkPad T23 with Pentium 3 Mobile 1133MHz
kernel: 2.6.28-gentoo-r5
Code:
dings ~ # cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006
Report errors and bugs to linux@brodo.de, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: speedstep-smi
  CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
  hardware limits: 733 MHz - 1.13 GHz
  available frequency steps: 1.13 GHz, 733 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: powersave, ondemand, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 733 MHz and 1.13 GHz.
                  The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 1.13 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).


I use cpufreqd-2.1.1 to switch between powersave for Battery and ondemand for AC

Based on the notes in the Kconfig help and in Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt, your choice of CPU is causing this. Not all CPUs can switch frequencies quickly enough to satisfy the ondemand governor.

I have the same with a Celeron-M. And how come it was fast enough up until 2.6.29 and now in 2.6.30 it is not? What changed?
