im on the 30th june nanobsd snap and if i enable powerd, this is what i get in the console
powerd: lookup freq: No such file or directory
What kind of hardware are you using?
I'm running it on my router (VIA CPU running a NanoBSD snapshot) and it loads without error, and does appear to be adjusting the CPU frequency properly:
dev.cpu.0.freq: 373
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 995/-1 870/-1 746/-1 621/-1 497/-1 373/-1 248/-1 124/-1
(run a few commands)
dev.cpu.0.freq: 497
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 995/-1 870/-1 746/-1 621/-1 497/-1 373/-1 248/-1 124/-1
Can you tell if cpufreq.ko is loaded? (run kldstat from a shell prompt)
I got that error the next time I booted my router, so it may still be an issue. I'll look into it.
Does the ALIX even support multiple frequencies? If you load cpufreq by hand do you get output similar to what I show above?
kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 15 0xc0400000 c61cd4 kernel
2 1 0xc2c79000 e000 dummynet.ko
3 1 0xc2ee0000 b000 cpufreq.ko
dev.cpu.0.freq: 373
cpu.0.freq:: Too many argumentsdev.
- Status changed from Feedback to Resolved
Closing this as the error given is due to ALIX not really supporting powerd with the default TSC timecounter, which is not the fault of cpufreq.ko which loads OK at boot time.
If we need some other mechanism to change timecounters (if that would even help) that would end up being a new feature and not really related to this ticket.
