Are you sure it is a Sempron CPU?

AFAIK the nx6125 comes with AMD Turion CPU's.  I have one and that is
why I chose it.
The Turion is a mobility 64-bit CPU.

Initially I had some problems with the powernow module.  It would lock
the CPU at around 500MHz and the clock was way too fast.

I run SUSE 10 on it at the moment, which has the 2.6.13 kernel, which
fix the powernow and clock issues.

I suggest that you upgrade to the 2.6.13 kernel if you can.
I would also suggest that you check if you have a 64-bit CPU and then
try the 64-bit Ubuntu.

Check the CPU speed in /proc/cpuinfo
Also check your logs for k_powernow errors.
