Package power limit notifications & Core power limit notifications

anon091 · 12-11-2012, 11:03 AM

Hi guys. I just loaded my first 6.3 RHEL server, and I noticed every time i go to the console, there are a TON of Package power limit notifications & Core power limit notifications up on the screen.
Does that mean I have power problems with this new server?

Could you post some examples; you should be able to find them also logged under /var/log

Could be a known bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36182. As per there, you may be able to tweak BIOS settings (or not ..).
Check the type of chip you have.

Thanks Chris, I'm going to add to the bug to see if i can help them solve it, I bet i'm in the same boat as these guys.

chrism01 · 12-12-2012, 06:56 PM

Good luck.
(not sure if this should be moved to Hardware ?)

anon091 · 12-14-2012, 05:39 AM

Thanks. I'm not sure either where this really belongs at this point haha.
