I don't know at what point this happened, because I hadn't used this laptop for the past month before I updated the other day, but I get the following:

$ sudo /etc/rc.d/laptop-mode restart
:: Restarting laptop-mode [BUSY]
/usr/sbin/laptop_mode: line 812: echo: write error: Invalid argument [DONE]

Both laptop-mode start and laptop-mode stop don't give this "write error". But I do get the error when my laptop boots up - wouldn't it be using laptop-mode start then? I don't know, all confused..
This task depends upon

I updated the package yesterday. I'll look into it.

I didn't realized it was an old bug. So it can't be caused by the latest update. Are you still having this problem?

Sorry, forgot to answer.. Yes it still happens. stop and start work fine, restart gives this error.

Real problem: SETTING OF KERNEL PARAMETER FAILED: echo 0 \> /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling │

According to Mr Crest:
$ cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling │
<not supported>

Which means this error is real, but the output is cosmetic. I will fix this in CVS, so there should be 0 output now.
