i'm having a bit of difficulty getting the cpufreq operating correctly on my machine. It's a dual opteron 242/1.6GHz (ZMax DP) box running a freshly recompiled FBSD 6.0, SMP enabled in the kernel. In my BIOS I have ACPI enabled and APM disabled. I have cpufreq_load="YES" in loader.conf, and kldstat shows that cpufreq.ko is running, however, wher I run sysctl -a I see no hw.powernow* dev.powernow* entries and dev.cpu.0.%driver="cpufreq" instead of "powernow", and there are no entries in dev.cpu.1 running powerd on boot (in rc.conf) causes a total system hang 5 seconds after activation (just as I'm typing in "roo" at the login prompt). it seems like I'm missing the powernow device driver -- I saw powernow.c in /usr/src/sys/i386/cpufreq, but not in the corresponding .../amd64 directory (not even a cpufreq directory there!) Am I missing something here, and why isn't sysctl outputting for dev.cpu.1?? Isaac Yonemoto
