It's not set by me. All I have in /etc/sysctl.conf is:

vfs.usermount=1
kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864
kern.ipc.shmall=32768

And, in case it helps, here's /etc/rc.conf:

And your /etc/sysctl.conf where you set this value? If it's not set by you, it 
may be set by /etc/rc.d/power_profile based on your /etc/rc.conf.
Try to get the 'untainted' output of `sysctl hw.acpi':
0) reboot into single user
1) # fsck -p /
2) # mount -u /
3) # sysctl hw.acpi >/tmp/acpi.sysctl
4) # exit

Then post /tmp/acpi.sysctl. My guess is no Cx values are obtained from the 
acpi, not even C1 (which is "normal operation" mode). This may or may not be 
related to your failing high precision timer.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.

Passive cooling problem with Athlon CPU

2008-07-05 Thread Mike Clarke
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?
