Hi
when I enable powerd with default flags (and any other also) the computer

Nothing in the logs. This is with amd 5000 X2 Am2

When i stick into the same computer a 4600 or 4200 it runs fine and
smooth.

I thought it is MB related and did the same and again the 5000 cpu
freeze, the smaller ones not.

Any idea what I should do?

I use releng_6 amd and i386 same story and cpufreq and acpi is compiled.

Disable powerd again and boot normally. Try changing the frequency with
"sysctl dev.cpu", etc. and see if any of the levels freeze for you.



ok, this is what I get

dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2600/100000 2400/85596 2200/72544 2000/60778 1800/50237
1000/25535

no need to say but the fan levels obviously are wrong

And now the interesting part I shift to 2400 or any other and immediately
freeze, that from kde konsole

in single user mode I can shift up and down between all speeds and nothing
happens

[Jumping in from the thread started on -stable -
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2007-July/036395.html
- see there for system details]

Same here - in single user mode, even powerd works fine - like it does
with SMP disabled - but no go in multiuser.
I see some similar discussion on stable but I can not match with everything
there because I have the problem only with the athlon 5000 cpu

The CPU difference is interesting - exactly what model is your X2 4600+?
Mine is a stepping F, model 4B, rev BH-F2 ("Energy Efficient" with 65W TDP).
