While semantically correct, the actual name used to disable the facility is "cpu" (as seen in src/sys/dev/acpica/acpi_cpu.c, line 126). Since the manpage listing of sub-devices is titled "sub-devices and features that can be disabled", this should probably be corrected. >How-To-Repeat: Add one of the following two lines to /boot/loader.conf: debug.acpi.disable="processor" debug.acpi.disable="cpu" The first is what the manpage suggests. The second is what works. :-) >Fix: Change the name of the device from 'processor' to 'cpu' in acpi(4). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
