As said, unless you don't own a Fam 10 CPU (Opteron, Phenom X3 and X4), 
it will not work
With cpufreq=xen. For C2D, I don't know.

hmm thats the dom0 way, dont have tried it... I have done it on my 
notebook with the hypervisor way - added these parameters to the 
hypervisor:

cpufreq=xen cpuidle

as I say, it does work with notebook but not with the desktop pc's. I 
try the dom0 way now.
