powerd on Gericom Webgine XL not running quite well

Hello all.
I am new to this list, but not to FreeBSD :)
I installed 6.1-RC1 on my Gericom Webgine XL with Athlon XP-M 1400
processor. (800-1200 MHz) It runs great, just one thing is bothering me.
Powerd is running, but when it comes to maximum frequency speed it stays
there. The example of powerd -v is here:
# powerd -v
idle time < 65%, increasing clock speed from 798 MHz to 931 MHz
idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 1064 MHz to 997 MHz
idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 931 MHz to 864 MHz
idle time < 65%, increasing clock speed from 931 MHz to 1064 MHz
idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 1197 MHz to 1197 MHz
idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 1197 MHz to 1197 MHz
idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 1197 MHz to 1197 MHz
idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 1197 MHz to 1197 MHz
.
.
.
So, it looks that powerd can increase and decrease CPU speed until it
reaches maximum. If I manualy change frequency with sysctl, frequency
can go down again.
sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq=800
dev.cpu.0.freq: 1197 -> 798
I do not know what is wrong here so any help would be great. Thanks.
