Which means that my X2 4600+ works just fine, but after overclocking
cpufreq restores it to the FSB that it should run on.

If you care about that changed, try to find out what patch caused this,
but in general, there's no support for overclocking in the kernel, and
bugreports from overclocked systems are frowned upon.

It would be kind to find out why the problem seems to show only from 2.6.16 and not before, unfortunately I ain't so skilled to investigate into cpufreq source.
