Hi Stan, <snip>
I have tried turning off the acpi with acpi=off and the other variations on the boot up screen but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'd start with BIOS and firmware updates for the hardware of the laptop. Then I'd look at BIOS settings to verify those are all OK.
The only settings I have in the bios is the apm which makes no difference to the speed. The bios has the latest update available for it.
Have you tried just a "3" on the boot command line for non-X operations and is that slow?
Not tried this one.
Do you boot Windows XP on this system and does it run alright? If yes, then I'd suspect possibly powersaved is running at the slowest CPU speed and isn't dynamically switching. Use kpowersave and check all of its settings.
Yes XP runs fine. I checked the kpowersave and I have it set to full power.
Also check all the /var/log/* files you have the patience to do at that speed. There may be a clue in the boot sequence that says to try a boot option.
That might take a while ;-)
