Note that a governor may behave differently on different CPUs. For example, the "powersave" governor may work fine for one CPU model, but lock another CPU at 800 MHz no matter if there is a workload running. If you can't (or don't want to spend too much time to) find an ideal setting, use the "performance" governor.

If your CPU is running at a much lower frequency than expected (an Intel Core i3 building the kernel but running at only 800 MHz is definitely too slow), try to adjust the setting of "Default CPUFreq governor" in the kernel configuration and rebuild the kernel. The ideal setting should limit the CPU at a low frequency when the system is idle, but boost it to the maximum performance while a workload is running.

But, if the LFS system is <b>very</b> slow (for example, takes 5 hours to build a kernel while the host distro needs only one hour to build the same kernel with exactly same configuration), it likely indicates a CPU dynamic frequency scaling issue. You can monitor the value of "cpu MHz" in <code>/proc/cpuinfo</code> to see if your CPU is running at a reasonable frequency while a workload (like, building the kernel) is running on the CPU.

If the LFS system is slower than another distro but not much slower, it's normal. We focus on building a Linux system from source code and we do nothing to tweak the system for marginal performance improvements. The other distros may enable additional compiler optimizations, tune kernel options (via sysctl), or use other approaches to squeeze more performance out. And, LFS uses a latest GCC release which is likely slower than an old GCC release. A new GCC release often attempts to optimize the target code more heavily (these optimizations will slow down the compiliation, but hopefully make the compiled program faster). So LFS will take more time building a large package (like Linux kernel).

You can always report this kind of issue to <a href="https://bugzilla.kernel.org">Kernel bug tracker</a>, no matter if it's a BIOS bug. The kernel developers want to make Linux runable even if the BIOS has this kind of bug.

If you see message like this but your system functions normally, you can ignore it. If the system malfunctions, you can try the combinations of several kernel options to workaround: <code>irqpoll</code>, <code>noapic</code>, <code>pci=nocrs</code>, and <code>i8042.nopnp=1</code>.

It may be a bug in the firmware (BIOS) or the drivers in kernel. Some hardware vendors tend to use Windows-specific hacks in their BIOS, which is misinterpreted by Linux kernel and causing this kind of issue.
