I have a Pentium M (centrino) 1.7 and have compiled my kernel according to Power Managment Guide. The problem is that when I run cpufreq-info I get:
Code:

cpufrequtils 0.4: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004
Report errors and bugs to linux@brodo.de, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU

Moreover the folder /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/ is empty. I tried to compile the "Intel Enhanced SpeedStep" item as a module but then modprobe speedstep-centrino fails with:
Code:

FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino (/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r3/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko): No such device

You can have a look at my kernel config to see if you've missed some options. I have a 1.3GHz Pentium M. I've compiled all my cpufreq related stuff into the kernel, not as modules (though that shouldn't make a difference in this case)

Here's my .config.

Your config doesn't solve the problem but the patch found at
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Undervolt_a_Pentium_M_CPU
does. Moreover it enables cpu undervolting, which is what interested me in the first place.
