Under Fedora 6 (which my laptop is running), I have the CPU Frequency
Scaling Monitor running in the upper menu bar.  Lately (ie, after a
recent kernel update) its been telling me that my processor frequency
scaling is no longer supported.  Odd because it used to be supported.
I was looking into the applets options, it can monitor CPU0 or CPU1.

Then I went and looked at /proc/acpi/processor and found that it
contained 2 entries:  CPU1 and CPU2

and my /sys/devices/system/cpu conatins cpu0 and cpu1 subdirectories,
neither of which has a cpufreq subdirectory.

I too am at a loss to explain.
