The kernel accepts arguments just like anything else and you pass them
in when you boot the kernel.  They can often be modified later, but do
it the easy way for now, just pass it in as argument to the kernel.

If you're using grub, in your menu.lst file you should have an entry like:

===
title Desktop -- openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.36.2-3
    root (hd0,4)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.36.2-3-desktop
root=/dev/disk/by-label/root
resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250310AS_9RY00PYW-part1 splash=silent
showopts vga=0x31a
    initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.36.2-3-desktop
===

Just add cpufreq.debug=7 at the end of the kernel boot line.
