My bios is too old for proper ACPI support (at least fc4 would always say so in /var/log/messages - fc5 doesn't seem to)
You should perhaps kill cpuspeed from starting at boot at all if you think your BIOS really can cope on its own, otherwise cpuspeed will likely step in anyway
chkconfig cpuspeed offUnless your BIOS is beyond hope, as some are, it's definitely an advantage if Linux can do the power management.
