I was using an older (late 2.5 iirc) kernel. I've found that the ACPI frequency scaling driver was crashing on startup and my 2GHz Pentium 4M was running at 700MHz (which could be a BIOS default for saving power, maybe?). In any case, it would be useful if you could tell us what cpufreq related settings you configured in your kernel, and any related output from dmesg. It's no point speculating without more information.
