[Bug 36014] Re: kernel 686 can't scale cpu frequency

[Constantine Evans]

I'm seeing this with a Dell D600 (1.6 GHz Pentium M), using both the 386
and 686 kernels in Dapper final. dmesg is similar to others on this
page. It should be noted that when this happens, the frequency sticks at
the _lowest_ value. Oddly, scaling_max_freq shows 600000, the same as
scaling_min_freq, while scaling_available_frequencies shows "1600000
1600000 1600000 1400000 1200000 1000000 800000 600000".

Has there been any progress on this? It is making Dapper rather unusable
for me.
