Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz While probably not relevant, it is the identical processor that the previous maintainer of the intel_pstate driver had on his main test computer. As mentioned in my original reply, I am using kernel 4.3-rc4 from kernel.org mainline. For kernel configuration I steal the Ubuntu kernel config. O.K. meanwhile your printk debug patch e-mail came: On 2015.10.07 07:34 Prarit Bhargava wrote: > Doug, please apply and test. I never get the "store_min_perf_pct" stuff during startup.
