TSC instead of ACPI: powerd doesn't work anymore (to be expected?)

[Alexander Leidinger]

Hi,

I switched the timecounter used to use the TSC instead of the ACPI one
(/etc/sysctl.conf). After rebooting powerd refused to start. I removed the
line which changes the timecounter in sysctl.conf and powerd starts again.

Is this expected, or is this a bug?

If this is expected:
 - powerd fails with an unhelpful message
 - this isn't docuemented in the man-page (at least not in -current as of 2-3
weeks ago)

Bye,
Alexander.
