The cpufreq-* modules are loaded, I tried both available Fedora kernels 
(2.6.31.5-96.fc12.x86_64 and
  2.6.31.1-56.fc12.x86_64, acpitool --cpu says :

CPU type               : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+
   CPU speed              : 2400.392 MHz
   Cache size             : 512 KB
   Bogomips               : 4800.78
   Processor ID           : 0
   Bus mastering control  : yes
   Power management       : no
   Throttling control     : no
   Limit interface        : no
   Active C-state         : C0
   C-states (incl. C0)    : 0

But...in works in $OTHER_DISTRO and /proc/cpuinfo says

clflush size    : 64

power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc


...so it obviously should support cpu frequency scaling. Any ideas?
