This was broken in build 66 with the putback of: PSARC/2004/826 Opteron Athlon64 Frequency Management 6358066 PSARC/2004/826 Opteron Athlon64 Frequency Management 6512756 Solaris should support Intel's Enhanced Speedstep 6335616 AMD64 CPU PwrMgmt needs Notify/_PPC for changes in P-states
The question I have now, does this mean that for those of us using Athlon64 processors, we no longer need the powernow module from frkit, or is this putback broken, or is the powernow module broken. Without the powernow module, my Ferrari seems to have the fan going all the time. So, something isn't right. Luc I.
