kernel: acpi_perf0: Px transition to 3000 failed kernel: acpi_perf0: set freq failed, err 6

[Paul]

Hello!

I'm attempting my first use of FreeBSD via an install of pfSense 2.1.3, which runs on FreeBSD 8.3, AFAIK.

I am getting the following entries over and over in my logs:

Jun 8 18:06:19 kernel: acpi_perf0: Px transition to 3000 failed
Jun 8 18:06:19 kernel: acpi_perf0: set freq failed, err 6

Perhaps some useful info:

$ dmesg | grep -i cpu

While using Ubuntu, this same machine had a microcode issue reported in the syslog, but I was able to fix it using a package called intel-microcode. I'm not sure if this FreeBSD issue is similarly related, but it would be great if someone can point in the right direction.

Thanks!
