Did it ever have a working throttle feature before? If not, it's not likely to support throttling. Modern systems aren't usually controlled by throttling but with CPU frequency control. You should try the powernow driver. http://poupinou.org/cpufreq/bsd/powernow_k7.tar.gz > The second problem is that I get these messages short after the boot: > 'stray irq6' and 'stray irq1'.

I see your notebook has an IOAPIC. It's likely that the legacy interrupt links aren't being disabled when the apic is enabled. John's new PCI irq routing code should handle this (it's not possible with the current arch for link devices). If you don't have any actual problems (i.e. hangs), the extra interrupts are harmless. -Nate
