hi,<br>
i really like grml. the grml system is much more responsive then my<br>
harddrive based debian when loaded into ram.<br>
it was quite easy to add emacs, slime and sbcl. now i have a very<br>
productive common lisp development environment.<br>
<br>
big thanks for this.<br>
<br>
<br>
however i struggled with the problem of sever heat build-up for a few days.<br>
the notebook gets a lot hotter than in debian 6 64bit.<br>
<br>
i tried a lot of settings with powertop and finally came to the conclusion<br>
that the following commands help:<br>
<br>
sudo modprobe msr<br>
root@shaitan ...tools/power/x86/x86_energy_perf_policy #<br>
./x86_energy_perf_policy -v 'powersave'<br>
<br>
in order to get this program, i had to "apt-get install linux-source-3.1"<br>
and unpack the source in /usr/src<br>
<br>
maybe other people would like to know about this as well.<br>
<br>
regards, martin<br>
