So it's rc2 not rc1, but AFAIK your report should be older than rc2.

There also was a similar report from Laurence Darby <ldarby@tuffmail.com>.
He still posted on the old cpufreq list.
Subject: Core 2 Duo E8400 stepping 6 not recognised

A BIOS update helped.
You may be able to google this out and compare his CPU_FREQ_DEBUG logs.
