CPU Freq problem FC6
I have a P4 notebook (Compaq NX9010-Pavilion ze8500) with which I'm
having CPU frequency problems. It's a 2.8GHz processor, but I can't
seem to get it above 692MHz.

speedstep-smi: you're trying to use this cpufreq driver on a Pentium 4-based CPU. Most
likely it will not work.
ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C2])
Note the speedstep-smi line.
I've tried disabling cpuspeed and also tried manually selecting frequency.
Personally, I'd prefer to have scaling working only on battery power, but I'll
settle for getting it to work *at all*.
Any suggestions?
