Just an additional datapoint on Debian Bug #306530:
I experience exactly thesame behaviour on my iBook G4 800. Speed is
stuck at 606 mhz, instead of the usual 800 mhz.
I get the same error messages on starting powernowd (file not found) -
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies is
also not available on my machine, kernel is 2.6.11-powerpc.

Well, I don't know about that either way; all I know is that 0.95-1 is
unusable for me and I have to downgrade. I haven't found a workaround.
Here's the verbose output of powernowd:
