Comment:
I don't see any output in dmesg regarding your CPU scaler module
actually working.

Try doing:

sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd stop
sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd start

Send the output of those two commands.

Also, for reference, you do not need to compress the files posted to the
bug report. Further, you should never tar a single file. If it needed to
be compressed you could simply compress the single file rather than
tar/compress.
