    Re: Kernel 3.7 and AMD cpu's

    Install amd64 worked on

    processor : 1
    vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
    cpu family : 20
    model : 1
    model name : AMD E-350 Processor (dual)
    stepping : 0
    microcode : 0x5000028
    cpu MHz : 800.000

    No clue why it says 800 MHz. On previous releases it said 1600 MHz which is the spec.

    DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
    DISTRIB_RELEASE=13.04
    DISTRIB_CODENAME=raring
    DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch)"
    Linux Aspire-5253 3.7.0-4-generic #12-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 27 23:13:21 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    I'd been updating every day or so including 02-Dec-2012 and it was stuck at 3.7.0-2 so I tried install using
    raring-desktop-amd64.iso 02-Dec-2012
    and got 3.7.0-4

    ?

    I've got 2 Gb memory and don't use that heavy applications so I don't specify a swap. This has got 4 ubuntu partions of various levels of Ubuntu and a Mint. It's a solid state drive and I'd rather not have all of them hammering one address area.

    So install got upset with no swap and kept asking me
    backup or continue
    so I selected continue and got
    backup or continue backup or continue
    so I selected continue and got
    backup or continue backup or continue backup or continue
    ad nauseum until the window spilled way off the screen.
    Eventually install got tired of that loop and went on to complete.

    Dynamic frequency scaling I suspect....
    You think that's air you're breathing now?

    What's "dynamic frequency scaling" and how do I turn it off?

    Note, I've tried a cpu intensive pi calculation which is the same results with ringtail "800 mHz" as previous ubuntu 's at "1600 mHz".

    Now gtkperf the screen benchmark is no gem with unity/compiz for me anyway. I'm for function while others are for "visual effects".

    There are several ways, as we have written several times here...
    The easiest way is:
    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/init.d/ondemand
    comment
    Code:
    echo -n ondemand > $CPUFREQ
    and add line right below
    Code:
    echo -n performance > $CPUFREQ
    To apply it without restart, after aforementioned changes, You could run
    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/ondemand stop
    sudo /etc/init.d/ondemand start
    or run a script
    Code:
    for CPUFREQ in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
    do
    [ -f $CPUFREQ ] || continue
    echo -n performance > $CPUFREQ
    done
    with root privileges... I've made alias for that and I run it in /etc/rc.local since I do not want to change significantly vanilla install...
    Or, simply, take ondemand out of that folder or take away its execute attribute...
    As far as I know performance is a default state of scaling_governor... Until it is changed with ondemand script in /etc/init.d...

    as of todays daily I still can't get any version of the 3.7 kernel to boot , either on my upgraded from quantal install or the daily live cd's , so I'm still stuck on the 3.5.0-17 kernel .
    if it ain't broke you haven't tweaked it enough

    Same here. None of the 3.7 kernels are booting for me, either. All AMD processors.

    As usual, works excellently in the Live session (todays daily). I already have it hard installed from last Friday's iso daily with 3.7.
