Got a "warning on start" :
[ 7.552939] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin [ 7.554370] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
The "microcode" module is now loaded automatically if your CPU supports it. Before you had to do it manually, that's why you see this error now. I suppose the reason is that you don't have the amd-ucode package installed.
I got his in /etc/rc.conf :
MODULES=(fuse powernow-k8 kvm-amd cpufreq_ondemand)
As far as I know you no longer need powernow-k8 or cpufreq_ondemand any more, as they too are loaded automatically if your CPU supports them. @Tobias,Thomas: I guess we'll see these sorts of warnings a lot as essentially everyone who does not have one of ucode-{intel,amd} installed will get them. I suppose we COULD post a news item about the change to module autoloading... Cheers, Tom
