I'm experiencing the very same issue on Jaunty 64 bit on Athlon 64 x2.

What really seems to have happened is that some functionalities which
were built as *modules* in the 2.6.27 kernel are now built right into
the kernel:

64 bit config comparison (unset values removed):

config-2.6.28-11-generic:3631:CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8_ACPI=y


But probably something did not work with some modules / kernel parts. Maybe 
some functions were designed to work as modules only, and they simply can't 
work if builtin?

Experience with 3 Jaunty PCs:

1) HP Desktop with a Pentium E2160 CPU and Jaunty 32 bit -> cpufreq still 
available and working
2)Dell desktop with Core 2 Duo E6xxx CPU, Jaunty 32 bit -> cpufreq still 
available and working
3) Homebuilt Athlon 64 x2, Jaunty 64 bit -> cpufreq unavailable since Jaunty 
upgrade.

I'm attaching a tar.gz with the output from cpuinfo, uname -a and find
for the three pcs.
