Here's one box:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz
cpu0: <ACPI CPU> on acpi0
est0: <Enhanced SpeedStep Frequency Control> on cpu0
est: CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized.
est: cpu_vendor GenuineIntel, msr 61a49200600091a
device_attach: est0 attach returned 6
p4tcc0: <CPU Frequency Thermal Control> on cpu0
Here's another one:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33GHz
cpu0: <ACPI CPU> on acpi0
est0: <Enhanced SpeedStep Frequency Control> on cpu0
est: CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized.
est: cpu_vendor GenuineIntel, msr 720072006000720
device_attach: est0 attach returned 6
p4tcc0: <CPU Frequency Thermal Control> on cpu0
SYSCTLs On the first one:
dev.cpu.0.freq: 2786
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2786/-1 2437/-1 2089/-1 1741/-1 1393/-1 1044/-1
696/-1 348/-1
Attempting to change dev.cpu.0.freq has no effect and says:
sysctl: dev.cpu.0.freq: Invalid argument
In one of the boxes I have there is an option in the bios where I can enable
Intel Enhanced SpeedStep Technology. If I enable this to disabled in the bios
then I get the same results as you are seeing. If I enable this in the bios then
I get no errors but the processor speed doesnt change according to chkfreq from
acpi_ppc http://www.spa.is.uec.ac.jp/~nfukuda/software/
Did you check the bios for this option?
Another thing is that when I enable it from bios the cpufreq finds the processor
to be 1500mhz (3000mhz in reality).
You said you have an Athlon X2 box. Did you download
http://www.spa.is.uec.ac.jp/~nfukuda/software/ and tried the chkfreq program
which comes out with it to see if powerd is actually working? Because all I know
is that you might be thinking that it is working but it might not be working at
all. (I think acpi_ppc doesnt support dual core processors but chkfreq should
give reliable results)
Thanks,
Evren
