If you boot a live distro, do you have the same issue?
Good question, I'll try it out. But on the previous arch installation all was fine so I guess it's a new problem.

Another thought: if you haven't yet tried it, try the LTS kernel. That might help either narrow the possibilities or at least eliminate some.

Tried linux-lts, no luck.
For some reason it doesn't even recognize and load cpufreq-ondemand!
[adriano@M735T ~] cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: yes
Even if I loaded cpufreq-conservative and told the CPU to use it.
The folders /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq do not exist when using the lts kernel.

The cpufreq module is only loaded automatically on kernel 3.4+, with older kernels you need to load the acpi-cpufreq module manually in /etc/modules-load.d/ before you can do anything with frequency scaling.

Thanks for the tip. I now loaded the module and the frequency is still capped at 1.6ghz on battery even with the LTS kernel.
Changing the max allowed frequency cia cpupower or manually has no effect whatsoever.

Mybe I'll try some 2.6 kernel later, maybe it could help also with my extra button recognising problem.

Did you get a chance to try with a live distro? That might give some indication of whether it might be some configuration or not...

After latest kernel upgrade, many problems solved themselves, like some buttons not working and strange ACPI behaviour. Sadly, this issue remains.

It was there, plain and clear:

Solved!
The strange thing is that this did not happen with the previous Arch installation, even though I DID NOT update the BIOS...
