cpufreqd + acpi - error message

hi

I am trying to get cpufreq daemon running with acpi. It works fine with apm, but not with acpi. I tried cpufreq 1.1.1 and 1.1.2. tried it on kernels 2.4.26, 2.6.5, 2.6.6. If I try to load cpufreq daemon with acpi, I get following output:

"Can't get system info. Exiting." Buggy acpi, Bug, or did I misconfigure anything on my machine? I use Debian woody, and have loaded the "processor" and "powernow-k8" modules and can access /proc/acpi/processor... and apci daemon is running.
Where does cpufreqd look for the system info it needs? Whats missing, wrong?

Thanks
