I looked into this in a bit greater detail, and it seems like this
happens when a cpu frequency info module (acpi_cpufreq) isn't loaded
into the kernel. It looks like Powerdevil gets the scaling info from
Solid, which gets it from HAL, which gets it from acpi_cpufreq (correct
me if I'm wrong). Inst
I'm using KDE4.2 too, upgraded from kubuntu-experimental. Maybe it has
nothing to do with powernowd, but installing cpufrequtils seems like
solved it for me. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

Oh, I forget to mention, I'm using Intrepid, scaling stopped working
after I uninstalled powernowd. So it seems powerdevil actually needs a
scaling governor.
