acpi-cpufreq was already loaded , where the frequency was all 800MHz now , and I can't make it back to full-speed , which is 2500MHz.

I tried cpufreq-set -g performance , then I check /proc/cpuinfo , it was still 800MHz

Is there anything wrong ?

UPDATE

It's a i5 CPU , part of cpu information provided below:

  • cpufreq-set -g affects only the first cpu on a multicore system. Try for i in `seq 0 3` ; do cpufreq-set -c $i -g performance; done May 6, 2012 at 4:46
  • @DmitriChubarov no lock , still all 800MHz ...

Alright , this was said to be a bug with Thinkpad ,

When your battery is unplugged , and connected to AC power higher than 65W , the freq will stuck at lowest , check the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/bios_limit , to see if it's stuck.

I got it solved by passing kernel parameter: processor.ignore_ppc=1
