For detailed instruction: cd /usr/src/sys/i386/cpufreq fetch http://people.FreeBSD.org/~bruno/powernow.c.pending_bit_stuck.diff patch < powernow.c.pending_bit_stuck.diff Now if you do have still your /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ARABIAN then: cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ARABIAN make make install or if you have already removed /usr/obj, then rebuild your kernel via cd /usr/src make kernel KERNCONF=ARABIAN Cheers, -- Bruno Ducrot -- Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? -- Don't know. Don't care.
