BIOS Information
        Vendor: Award Software International, Inc.
        Version: F2
        Release Date: 01/14/2005

BIOS date looks fine, ACPI should certainly be enabled on this board.

Looking at the acpidump, the code to support P-states appears
to be some sort of template that the programmer never filled in --
as the values are generally all -1 or 0, and there is no _PSS
present.
   Scope (\_PR.CPU0)
    {
        Name (_PCT, Package (0x02)
        {
            ResourceTemplate ()
            {
                Register (FFixedHW,
                    0x00,               // Bit Width
                    0x00,               // Bit Offset
                    0x0000000000000000, // Address
                    ,)
            },

            ResourceTemplate ()
            {
                Register (FFixedHW,
                    0x00,               // Bit Width
                    0x00,               // Bit Offset
                    0x0000000000000000, // Address
                    ,)
            }
        })
        Method (_PPC, 0, NotSerialized)
        {
            Return (0x00)
        }

        Name (PPSS, Package (0x05)
        {
            Package (0x06)
            {
                0xFFFF,
                0xFFFFFFFF,
                0xFF,
                0xFF,
                0xFFFFFFFF,
                0x03FF
            },
...
Further, there is no SSDT or Load() statements in this
DSDT to extend the AML, and so there is no ACPI support for P-states
in this BIOS.

See if a BIOS upgrade is available which does include ACPI support
for P-states, or work with the native support
in the k8 driver.  This is not a Linux/ACPI bug.
