Subject: 2.6.28 - 2.6.29-rc6-git5 regression, p4-clockmod/cpufreq probably

Please CC me, i am not on linux-kernel maillist

Hardware: Asus EEE 702, 
CPU: Intel Celeron 900 Mhz

On 2.6.28 p4-clockmod available, and i can manage governor, frequency and etc 
over cpufrequtils.
On 2.6.29-rc6 (git5 tested also) also shown in dmesg as available, but i  
can't change anything.

root # cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006
Report errors and bugs to linux@...do.de, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU

There is no noticeable differences in dmesg.
Both have
[    2.438474] p4-clockmod: P4/Xeon(TM) CPU On-Demand Clock Modulation 
available
