Hi!
I got tiny problem that I can't solve by myself. I've googled and everything but I don't find solution. So, everytime that I boot or trying to start cpufreq from console I get this message:

3. FREQuencies can be passed in Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, or THz
Notes:postfixing the value with the wanted unit name, without any space
1. Omitting the -c or --cpu argument is equivalent to setting it to zero
2. The -f FREQ, --freq FREQ parameter cannot be combined with any other parameter
except the -c CPU, --cpu CPU parameter
3. FREQuencies can be passed in Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, or THz
by postfixing the value with the wanted unit name, without any space
(FREQuency in kHz =^ Hz * 0.001 =^ MHz * 1000 =^ GHz * 1000000).
and mine /etc/conf.d/cpufreq
#configuration for cpufreq control
# valid governors:
# ondemand, performance, powersave,
# conservative, userspace
governor="ondemand"
# limit frequency range (optional)
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz

max_freq="3,20GHz"
# use freq to set up the exact cpu frequency using it with userspace governor
#freq=
I would be thankful if some of you gurus can help me!

Do you have acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand modules loaded?
You can achieve this with rc.conf modules array. Or with modprobe.

Oh sorry I forgot paste those
MODULES=(...powernow-k8 cpufreq_ondemand...)
yes I have those on my modules array (I have AMD Phenom processor)

Maybe you should also add acpi-cpufreq? I'm not sure:-)

I tried modprobe that in first place when I installed cpufreq and gave a error and in wiki says for AMD Phenom processor you have to use powernow-k8 driver instead. I have managed many times to get that work properly and this is first time I count this error on my archlinux and it happened when I reinstalled it because I wanted to start from fresh. Well I always can make script to do that after boot.

Thank you! I didn't noticed that small detail I feel so dumb now

You're welcome. If it's now working, don't forget to mark the thread as solved by editing your first post!
