If you are lucky, one of the many options to force acpi to be 
functional. I used to have a problem with the cpufrequency and powernow 
not working with smp kernels. It is fixed now for 32-bit. Maybe there is 
a bug in the software.

No, the power management should be yes.

Can you find the cpu frequency applet ad slow down the cpu frequency 
with the applet?
