Have you set the kernel compile flag?
CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K7:
This adds the CPUFreq driver for mobile AMD K7 mobile processors.
For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/>.
If in doubt, say N.

Prompt: AMD Mobile Athlon/Duron PowerNow!
Defined at arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/Kconfig:65
Depends on: !X86_VOYAGER && CPU_FREQ
Location:
-> Power management options (ACPI, APM)
-> CPU Frequency scaling
-> CPU Frequency scaling (CPU_FREQ [=y])
Selects: CPU_FREQ_TABLE
Running a vanilla kernel: 2.6.20.7
