With the 2.6.26-rc6 kernel I am running it works fine (as does the cpufreq driver).

The following change indeed makes the int3 message go away, the frequency seems to be changing in response to increasing or decreasing load, and incidentally the machine doesn't hang at power off anymore. Thanks.

Caused by: commit bfc0f5947afa5e3a13e55867f4478c8a92c11dca Author: Alok Kataria <akataria@vmware.com> Date: Tue Jul 1 11:43:24 2008 -0700 x86: merge tsc calibration Merge the tsc calibration code for the 32bit and 64bit kernel. The paravirtualized calculate_cpu_khz for 64bit now points to the correct tsc_calibrate code as in 32bit. Original native_calculate_cpu_khz for 64 bit is now called as calibrate_cpu. Also moved the recalibrate_cpu_khz function in the common file. Note that this function is called only from powernow K7 cpu freq driver.
