powernow0: no match for extended cpuid 780

Hi,

I tried to install FreeBSD 6.1-RC1 on my Acer Aspire 1304LC Notebook. That  
notebook has a "AMD Athlon XP 1800+" CPU.

The installation process succeeded but I can't get any power management to  
work. If I load cpufreq.ko I get:

    powernow0: <PowerNow! K7> on cpu0
    powernow0: ACPI MAX frequency not found
    powernow0: no match for extended cpuid 780
    device_attach: powernow0 attach returned 6

"/etc/rc.d/powerd start" brings

    powerd: lookup freq: No such file or directory

Are there any chances to get a working cpufreq-mechanism on that machine?

Here you can find the dmesg output:

And a complete lists of all sysctls:

   very litte hw.acpi.*, hum?

Thanks in advance.
