# Troubleshooting

## Update

```
$ sudo dnf update
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Nothing to do.
```

## Booting with different kernels

Tried booting with following kernel (but same issue)
- 6.11.5-300.fc41.x86_64
- 6.11.8-300.fc41.x86_64

## CPU frequency

```bash
$ \cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
performance
$ \cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
performance powersave
```

``` bash
$ watch -n.1 "grep \"^[c]pu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo"
```

```

Start by reviewing the reported intel_pstate, performance-governor, and 400 MHz readings, then reproduce the behavior using the listed Fedora kernels and the provided /proc/cpuinfo and turbostat commands. Check the linked configuration and troubleshooting guidance before determining whether auto-cpufreq is involved. Done means identifying the cause and documenting or correcting the behavior with evidence that CPU frequency is no longer incorrectly constrained.
