Bug Description
Binary package hint: powernowd
I did an apt upgrade today on my feisty laptop (HP nx6110), my CPU's scaling frequencies are displayed wrongly - or at least differently from my earlier ubuntu's and other installations. Usually my lowest frequency is 800 MHz, now its 798 MHz. My scaling_
798000 1064000 1330000 1729000
The first one used to be 800000, and the last one used to be 1733000. I don't remember the intermediate values for sure.
Kernel: 2.6.20-13-386
lshw output for my CPU:

Just in case it helps, along with this I'm also experiencing a possible (though not exact) instance of bug #92014, my IDE drives have now become /dev/sda*.
Btw, I'm not experiencing any troubles due to this, but would this be damaging to the CPU?

This might not be powernowd. What is the active governor?
