Hello,
I recently upgraded a AMD Fusion machine[1], to FreeBSD 9.1-beta1.
I was a bit surprised to see that the amdtemp.ko module didn't work for this machine,
as I thought PR kern/156358[2] had fixed that. Perhaps it didn't get in in time for 9.1?
Anyway, I installed latest sources, used the patch found in the forums[3] and built a new kernel, and now amdtemp.ko works:
tingo at kg-f4$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-f4.kg4.no 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #1: Sun Aug 5 18:43:08 CEST 2012 root at kg-f4.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
tingo at kg-f4$ kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 3 0xffffffff80200000 1320ec0 kernel
2 1 0xffffffff81521000 3048 amdtemp.ko
tingo at kg-f4$ dmesg | grep amdtemp
amdtemp0: <AMD CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors> on hostb4
tingo at kg-f4$ sysctl dev.amdtemp
dev.amdtemp.0.%desc: AMD CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors
dev.amdtemp.0.%driver: amdtemp
dev.amdtemp.0.%parent: hostb4
dev.amdtemp.0.sensor0.core0: 54.0C
Perhaps someone could MFC a patch?
