... and cpufreq-nforce2.ko fails to work. Module can't be loaded:
FATAL: Error inserting cpufreq_nforce2
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-rc1/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/cpufreq-nforce2.ko):
Device or resource busy

Here's relevant difference between dmesg of 2.6.17 and 2.6.18-rc1:

@@ -244,7 +240,6 @@
lp: driver loaded but no devices found
cpufreq: Detected nForce2 chipset revision C1
cpufreq: FSB changing is maybe unstable and can lead to crashes and data loss.
-cpufreq: FSB currently at 165 MHz, FID 10.5

Motherboard is Abit, NF7,NF7-V (nVidia-nForce2), Version: 2.X,1.0,
(according to dmidecode).

Also alsactl restore didn't restore PCM volume and mute state. Some
mixer elements changed name? Module is snd_intel8x0, chip is integrated
in above mentioned motherboard.
