I just booted to XP, re-flashed the BIOS with A14 (same version), rebooted back to Squeeze and the computer started up running 1.8GHz. But now, an hour later, all governors max at 600MHz. WTF???

The governor "userspace" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 600 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).

BTW, it's a Dell Inspiron 8600, Pentium M @ 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM, 80GB IDE
I just rebooted after editing the /etc/default/acpid file...
Code:
mpyusko@hal9000:/etc/default$ cat acpid
# Options to pass to acpid
#
# OPTIONS are appended to the acpid command-line
#OPTIONS=""
# Linux kernel modules to load before starting acpid

# acpi drivers, or commented out to load no module
#MODULES="battery ac processor button fan thermal video"
MODULES="all"

now I get....

I rebooted again and waited in the console for over 10 minutes and the CPU stayed happy at 600 - 1800 MHz. Within a few minutes of loading KDE the computer dropped and stayed locked at 600 - 600MHz. What is KDE loading that the console isn't?
Edit (several hours later): /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/94cpufreq ... I chmod'd to 644. We'll see if it works.
Edit (Seven more minutes later): Nope, didn't work.
Edit (Another hour later): I rebooted and started using Gnome. Not as much running, but eventually, while downloading updates, the fan kicked on and the processor dropped and locked 600/600 again. I noticed that happened the last time too. But the strange part is even after the CPU cools, won't restore the speed. Still searching.... I never had this issue with Lenny.
