Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few weeks if there is no additional information lodged.
The cpu (core 2 quad Q6600) is definitely supported by acpi-cpufreq, so its gotta be the bios at fault.
Davide, Judging from your dmidecode output there is a BIOS update available which you could try. Would be interested to see if this resolves the issue for you but will probably close this as NOTABUG.

Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
