FreeBSD demo 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #7: Thu Sep 20 12:57:15 CEST 2007     toor@demo:/files/amd64/obj/files/bsd/src6/sys/D470K  amd64
>Description:

When using cpufreq, dev.cpu.0.freq does not show up any longer on boot.

No difference if I use cpufreq as module or include in kernel.

Same behaviour when booting a 7-stable kernel cross-build on 6-stable.

It used to work for years on same hardware and problem showed up sometime during the summer   
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

(when used as module) : kldunload cpufreq and then kldload again.
After a couple of trials dev.cpu.0.freq shows up and powerd will work OK from then on.
