I suspect there is no cpu power management available in opensolaris for the Pentium M cpu. Check the supported_frequencies_Hz values reported by "kstat cpu_info". Another reason could be some constant cpu load; check with "vmstat 5" or "top" or "prstat" if the system is using a significant amount of user or system cpu time, even when the system should be idle. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
