I have the same problem.
CPU scaling works perfectly fine with kernel
2.6.15-19-386 but not on any of these kernels:
-19-k7
-20-386
-20-k7
-21-386
-21-k7

Strangething is that there are no errormessages, and running dmesg shows only that powernow-k7 has been successfully loaded and has found two scaling "levels".
But the cpuscaling-applet in Gnome shows processor running constantly in 100%, and the cpu quickly gets really hot.

My processor is a AMD Turion64 MT-30
