Hi, I've just noticed and tracked down a regression in x86/cpufreq/powernow.c (on amd64) which was first mentioned here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-March/023509.html although no followup seems to have occurred. Symptoms are that powerd stops working because the dev.cpu.0.freq OID is no longer gettable nor settable. This seems to have been caused by the following revision: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=222148 which was in turn an MFC of r221102, so I guess the problem exists on -current as well, although I can't confirm that since I don't run it. Reverting the change fixes the problem and powerd will work again. Also other utilities, such as xacpim, work properly. I'm running a ML-40 Turion laptop (HP Compaq nx6125). regards, Callum -- Callum Gibson @ home http://members.optusnet.com.au/callumgibson/
