I have an AppleTV running Ubuntu 9.1 with the CrystalHD decoder installed. All of the guides mention setting max_cstate to C2. I have no way to successfully make this change.
I have tried using an options file in modprobe.d and using boot parameters. Nothing seem to change the setting from C8. What am I missing?
xbmc@appletv:/etc/modprobe.d$ cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/poweractive state: C0
max_cstate: C8
maximum allowed latency: 16000 usec
states:
C1: type[C1] promotion[--] demotion[--] latency[001] usage[00003595] duration[00000000000000000000]
C2: type[C2] promotion[--] demotion[--] latency[001] usage[12331846] duration[00000000001866215477]
C3: type[C3] promotion[--] demotion[--] latency[057] usage[217598046] duration[00000000715541300796]
xbmc@appletv:/etc/modprobe.d$ cat options.conf
options processor max_cstate=C2
