I recently (Saturday) upgraded to the most recent RELENG_5 on my way to RELENG_6 (which I did on Sunday). Along the way I picked up cpufreq, powerd, etc. I thought I would see if this worked with Cool-n-quiet on my AMD64 3000+ system. I am still running the i386 version, but I can't see that that would cause the problem I am having. I have been loading cpufreq as a module and not compiling it into the kernel. When the module loads I receive the following: powernow0: <Cool`n'Quiet K8> on cpu0 device_attach: powernow0 attach returned 6 Not surprisingly, powerd now fails with: Starting powerd. powerd: lookup freq: No such file or directory I was unable to find anything like this in the archives. Does anyone have a pointer? -- Jonathan Fosburgh

Does anyone have a > pointer?i believe i had the same issue myself (pentium-m laptop). then i found out it works when run at boot time -- add it to your /boot/loader.conf and see. martin
