Hi Dewayne,
Thanks for looking at this. I modified loader.conf:
$ cat /boot/loader.conf
cpufreq_load="YES"
then recompiled the kernel and rebooted:
10.3-BETA3 #1 r296151
root@onion:~ # kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 13 0xffffffff80200000 d45380 kernel
2 1 0xffffffff80f46000 f0c8 cpufreq.ko
3 1 0xffffffff8113d000 1604 fdescfs.ko
4 1 0xffffffff8113f000 946 pflog.ko
5 1 0xffffffff81140000 2d0ef pf.ko
...but still no-go:
root@onion:~ # powerd -v
powerd: no cpufreq(4) support -- aborting: No such file or directory
Also commented out the powerd entries from /etc/rc.conf, rebooted
again, no difference.
many thanks,
