Daniel, I've uploaded your debdiff, you should see the bugs get hit
soonish. I've had to fix the Original-Maintainer field, as it was
misspelt, could you watch for that in future? Could you also look at
submitting our changes to Debian using something like submittodebian
from ubuntu-dev-tools, as
powernowd (0.97-2ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low
[ dAniel hAhler ]
* debian/init.d:
- skip use_ondemand if $OPTIONS != -q are given (LP: #67341)
- activate [...]/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load in
use_ondemand, when using ondemand governor instead of powernowd
(LP: #60042)
Steve, the misspelling came from ogra and I've not looked close enough when
I've rediffed my patch (my original diff for 0.97-1ubuntu8 had it spelled
correctly). I should have caught this, when I've rediffed.
Nice to see it finally uploaded, thanks.
From what I can tell, all those fixes do not

This patch should fix this: if $OPTIONS are set in
/etc/default/powernowd, the init script does not use the ondemand
governor instead of starting powernowd.
Additionally, it activates the ignore_nice_load setting, which is the
as powernowd does - unless you use the -n option, which would include
Added reference to bug 60042 to changelog (which is about
ignore_nice_load).

I have also seen this behaviour on our mailserver running Ubuntu 7.04
Server. I just commented out the following part of /etc/init.d/powernowd
(lines 108-112):
if use_ondemand
then
log_end_msg 0
return 0

Seems to work for me, powernowd is running according to ps and frequency

I'd agree with Justin's comments. I was just bitten by this setting up
BOINC on my laptop, and suddenly have the CPU speed (and thus CPU fan
speed) shoot through the roof because of BOINC's 95% idle usage.
Clearly, this should not be intended behaviour for any power scheduler

I've just run into this bug, too, on my from-scratch install of Edgy on
a Dell Inspiron 1300...
I similarly thought that powernowd should have been running, since I had
the package installed; it took 10 minutes to figure out that the init
script was silently exiting due to the cpufreq_ondemand
More info:
I controlled the speedstepping by running BOINC
(http://climateprediction.net). After login or when I use
sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd start
the CPU goes up to highest speed as soon as the BOINC project starts running,
and it stays there. Nice value of the process is 19.
When I stop
This is because of bug #13610 (use 'ondemand' kernel governor if
possible).
When the kernel governor is used, then any options passed to powernowd
(the userspace governor) are ignored and the daemon 'powernowd' is not
actually started, only the kernel is updated.
