My current kernel version 2.6.22 (as previous versions 2.6.21, 2.6.20)
native works fine. Probably, there is a difference (as you said me)
between Xen ACPI Interpreter and the native mode interpreter.
I try also with xen-source-2.6.18 tree without xen support and in this
case, cpufreq works fine. Only if i enable xen cpufreq doesn't work.
