Description:
Using T2300 Centrino Duo. I have acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand in rc.conf modules array and cpufreq in daemons.
On boot only cpu0 goes in to 'ondemand', cpu1 starts in 'performance' mode. I have to manually set cpu1 to 'ondemand'.
I believe this behaviour occurred only after upgrade to kernel 2.6.23.

Additional info:
* package version(s): cpufrequtils-002-1

* config and/or log files etc: cpufreq-info on startup:

cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006
Report errors and bugs to linux@brodo.de, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
hardware limits: 996 MHz - 1.66 GHz
available frequency steps: 1.66 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 996 MHz
available cpufreq governors: powersave, ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 996 MHz and 1.66 GHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 996 MHz.
analyzing CPU 1:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 1
hardware limits: 996 MHz - 1.66 GHz
available frequency steps: 1.66 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 996 MHz
available cpufreq governors: powersave, ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 996 MHz and 1.66 GHz.
The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 1.66 GHz.

/etc/conf.d/cpufreq:

#configuration for cpufreq control

# valid governors:
# ondemand, performance, powersave,
# conservative, userspace
governor="ondemand"
# governor="powersave"
# governor="performance"

# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz
max_freq="1.66GHz"
min_freq="996MHz"

Seems like a duplicate of  FS#6440

Yes, copied the script to /etc/rc.d, now working fine. Thanks for pointing me to the right place!

cpufreq-set:
1. Omitting the -c or --cpu argument is equivalent to setting it to zero

it's not a bug it's normal
