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.
