[SOLVED] cpufrequtils module fails at boot

tasty_minerals · 2012-02-09 20:38:45

After recent kmod update I started getting "user specified modules - fail" message at boot.
After I modprobed every module in array in "rc.conf", I found out that cpufrequtils "cpufreq_performance" governor module fails. There is nothing I could really do, so I deleted it from rc.conf. I stopped getting the message, but now I wonder why do other modules of cpufrequtils do load without a problem?
Any workarounds?

cpufreq_performance isn't a module, it's built into the kernel.

ok, they are cpu governors.
why this is still on archwiki:

Load the desired governor(s) with modprobe. For example:
# modprobe cpufreq_ondemand
# modprobe cpufreq_userspace
Or, add the desired governor(s) to the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf and reboot.
MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave)

Of course it does. cpufreq_performance isn't a module. That's all there is to it.

sorry I was too quick with the reply, yes it does.
The wiki page however advises to add "cpu_performance" into MODULES () array.
So, as I understand, this is no longer needed now, the same goes with the other governors

Look again. Nowhere is cpufreq_performance mentioned.

Incorrect. The other governors are still modules.

Like cpufreq_conservative. It is a module. Bu I think ondemand is also built in.

this is really misguiding, don't you think?
how do you say what is built-in and what is still a module? I though they were all modules
It should be definitely clarified for users.

Yeah, the wiki should clarify: cpufreq_performance is not a module, it's built into the kernel and is the default. If you want to use other governors, add them to the MODULES array.
