Actually, I experienced freezes with AMD64 using any
frequency scaling in the kernel. I was using cpufreqd, but even
without a userland daemon and just toggling things myself via
echo, I could get my system to lock up. I was testing things
using 32-bit mplayer in a chroot to play a Real Audio stream.
As soon as I took out all frequency scaling of my kernel,
the system was rock solid. This was all done from a console
without loading my nVidia module and no X running, so I can say
with a decent amount of certainty that there may be problems in
general with frequency scaling and AMD64 kernels.
