If it helps, I had some trobule with frequency control on my t41p
until I built a kernel that only had the speedstep/centrino drivers,
after someone suggested that might be the problem.  Since then, I've
been using ACPI and powernowd without incident.

In case it's relevant, I've also disabled local apic in my kernel
(CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC).
