           Summary: conservative governor doesn't increase frequency, just
                    decrease. powernow-k7
           Product: Power Management
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.24.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: cpufreq
        AssignedTo: cpufreq@www.linux.org.uk
        ReportedBy: borych@gmx.de


Latest working kernel version:2.6.23.16
Earliest failing kernel version:2.6.24
Distribution:Gentoo
Hardware Environment:mitac 8375 Athlon XP-M 2800+

Problem Description: kernel 2.6.24.2, conservative governor compiled in
(doesn't matter whether module or not). If I set conservative as current
governor (either via cpufreq-utils or set it as default governor in kernel) the
CPU frequency decreases slowly at low CPU load as it ought to be. But if I put
the CPU on high load then,the frequency remains unchanged. 
Conservative is working on 2.6.23.*, ondemand works even on 2.6.24 CPU
frequency module is powernow-k7 compiled in as module.

Steps to reproduce:
1.compile kernel with conservative governor
2.set it as current governor
3.put CPU on high load
