I haven't been able to set the chosen policy for CPU0
"I haven't been able to set the chosen policy for CPU0._I set 1667000-1000000-ondemand_System says 1000000-1000000-ondemand_"
That's what the log files says. CPU's frequenzy randomly falls to minimum (1000000). Sometimes I can manually correct that, but more often I can't and the above message appears.

Already upgraded to kernel 2.6.25-gentoo-r2 and cpufreqd 2.2.1... nothing changes. Processor is an Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU L2400 @ 1.66GHz. Would you say thats probably a broken kernel or a broken bios?
