Passive cooling problem with Athlon CPU
I'm running 6.3STABLE with an AMD 4850e Athlon X2 and occasionally get the following message on the console: acpi_tz0: failed to set new freq, disabling passive cooling I also see the following 2 messages immediately after devd starts every time I boot (and which don't appear in any log file): hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1 sysctl: hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: Invalid argument Should I be concerned about this and, if so, what should I do?
