[AuckLUG] Cannot get Powernow working under Gentoo 2007.0

I have recompiled my kernel as per the Powernow HOWTO at
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_PowerNow! but cannot seem to get any Powernow or frequency
scaling support.
A dmesg | grep powernow returns nothing , it is enabled in the BIOS of the
machine and works under Windows but does not even appear as an option under Gentoo running kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r8.
I am running an Athlon 64 3200+ but running the x86 version of Gentoo
so that I can run the software I require that is not well supported under
amd64.

Any ideas apprecaited.

Thanks

Jamie
