I like the months, too!
]]>Edit: Well, that fixed it! I guess it cannot load the data because it does not have enough information or something... though that is pure speculation.

And I also have 600 and 644 as the respective permissions:
ls -al /var/cache/powertop/
total 120

drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Hyd 27 02:01 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111460 Hyd 29 22:43 saved_results.powertop
Er... OK. So how did you create a /var/cache/powertop/saved_parameters.powertop?

Leaving PowerTOP
Edit: downgrading made no difference... so I might as well stick with th newer version that doesn't work in the same way. Maybe you should report this.
]]>Searching the forums, I found one post which mentioned this in passing but the comment was not the main topic and received no follow-up.
I would think this was a powertop bug except that I've looked through the mailing list archives for Aug, Sep and Oct (i.e. since the release of 2.1) and can't see any reports of it which would seem a bit odd since I'd expect this sort of bug to be recognised rather quickly. So I'm thinking that it is probably a buggy user rather than a buggy application but I can't think what I'm missing.
[Note: powertop's bug reporting mechanism appears to be reporting to the mailing list and there doesn't seem to be a separate bug tracker so the mailing list seemed to be the place to look although it is not possible to search as far as I can tell.]
