Same on  AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50 in Amilo Pa1510.
I can't change cpufreq, and system can't automatic too.
I typed cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null in 4 terminals, but cpufreq works only in 
800MHz.
Supported freq's: 800, 1.6 Ghz

Fully updated Ubuntu 8.10 (15 oct)
In /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq shows 800MHz, 
scaling_min_freq shows 800 too.
HTOP shows 100% cpu load all two cores.

FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq

If I disable powernowd on boot, cpu works 1.6 GHz fine.

I hope this will help you
