I have tried enabling various kernel options, but I haven't found any that create this path. When I try to start powernowd I get the following error: docbill003 docbill # /etc/init.d/powernowd start * Starting powernowd ... powernowd: Couldn't open file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq /etc/init.d/powernowd: line 8: 12574 Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/powernowd -q ${POWERNOWD_OPTS} [ !! ] docbill003 docbill # emerge --info Gentoo
