I noticed that my cpu frequency scaling was broken recently. This is annoying because I have a 1.96Ghz and instead of being stuck at this speed, it is stuck at minimum speed (800 Mhz).

I saw this in my dmesg (may be the problem):
 ACPI Error (utglobal-0126): Unknown exception code: 0xFFFFFFFE [20070126]
[ 36.836000] ACPI Exception (video-1644): UNKNOWN_STATUS_CODE, Cant attach device [20070126]
[ 36.836000] ACPI: Video Device [PEG] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no)

Here is for powernowd:
root@chris-laptop:/home/chris# /etc/init.d/powernowd restart
 * Stopping powernowd: [ OK ]
 * Starting powernowd... /etc/init.d/powernowd: 156: cannot create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0//cpufreq/scaling_governor: Directory nonexistent
 * CPU frequency scaling not supported

This used to work very well... I will attach my dmesg output here. Please tell me what information I should give you.
