[solved] cpufreq daemon doesn't load the governor that I set

Hi,

I don't know what it is wrong with my conf but I'm not able to load the governor that I want at boot-time.

According to the wiki I set:

rc.conf

MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MODULES=(wl acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave)

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond dbus net-profiles slim acpid  @cpufreq @dropboxd-userspace)

acpi-cpufreq .- Module for my cpu
cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave .- Scaling governors

and the  /etc/conf.d/cpufreq

#configuration for cpufreq control

# valid governors:
#  ondemand, performance, powersave,
#  conservative, userspace
governor="ondemand"

and after every booting I get:

cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:

                  The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use

that's it "performance" instead of "ondemand"

if I restart the daemon:
#/etc/rc.d/cpufreq restart

It seems to read the /etc/conf.d/cpufreq and set the governor to ondemand...

but why?? What's going on during booting?

I get a look at the rc.multi, since it starts the daemons in rc.conf and functions and looks ok. I mean I've touched these files so I guess are right, besides the others daemons are working at boot-time perfectly...

Any help would be appreciated!

I have

echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

for each of my cores in /etc/rc.local to set the governor during boot.

Cheers
