powerd freezes system

B

bbzz

I'm running Intel i7 920. powerd seems to occasionally hang the system completely; the only way is to hard reset it. Frequency ranges go from 199Mhz up to 2.6Ghz, but the freezing happens randomly, and well above 199Mhz.

I tried setting
Code: 
hint.acpi_throttle.0.disabled="1"
as suggested somewhere on this forum already, but it didn't help.

Any other suggestions?
 
I'm running a recent FreeBSD 8-STABLE on my i7 laptop and I too suffer occasional spontaneous freezes of the entire system. How did you pin it down to powerd?

Well, I sort of narrow it down to couple of services that were recently enabled; powerd seemed like best candidate, and quick google reveled others with same problem.

BTW, that hint above seems to be working.
