(Get the code!)
I have an Inspiron 8600 with a 1.3Ghz Pentium M which also does not scale the CPU frequency using the i686 kernal. The i386 kernal, though, works great and scales the freq dynamically. Under the i686 kernal, my freq remained at 600Mhz no matter what load causing severe slowdowns when rendering large webpages, installing software, running software, etc. Also, this bug is not power state dependant (meaning that whether plugged in or not, it does not scale the CPU). This problem also appeared in the SuSE 10.1 Betas, but I did not isolate the problem until using Dapper.
