Brice,
Can you try the converse?
Apply the acpi patch (which is included in -mm)
without the rest of the mm tree to see if that broke acpi-cpufreq?:

Len,

This patch applied on top of 2.6.15 breaks acpi-cpufreq in the same way.

No, acpi was not merged after 2.6.15 -- see if cpufreq changed.

Ah good!
Can you test the _PDC patch here all by itself?

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5483#c17

If this patch is what causes the failure, please 
build with CONFIG_ACP_DEBUG=y and attach the dmesg
from the failure, as well as the output from acpidump,
available in the latest pmtools here:

http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils

OK, let me try to reproduce this.  acpi and cpufreq are fully merged up, so
this bug may well be in mainline now.

It's things like this which make me consider a career in carpentry.

I assume 2.6.15 works OK?

Unfortunately I don't know diddly about wpa_supplicant (how come FC5-test1
doesn't ship it?)

2.6.15 and 2.6.15-git3 both don't show any of these issues. Did acpi and
cpufreq get merged after -git3 ?

Well whatever bug it is, it's in Linus's tree now.  Happens for me too.

I traced the failure down as far as acpi_processor_get_performance_info(),
where it's failing here:

	status = acpi_get_handle(pr->handle, "_PCT", &handle);
	if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) {
		ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO,
				  "ACPI-based processor performance control unavailable\n"));
		return_VALUE(-ENODEV);
	}

Yeah, for some odd reason FC doesn't ship wpa_supplicant, forcing all
those poor users to use WEP "encryption" :-(
