Problem loading cpufreq module
I'd like to install cpufreq modules on my server .
I tried

Code:
    sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq

but got the error

Code:
    FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.18-238.12.1.el5xen/kernel/arch/x86_64/kernel/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device

Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo gives this

And uname -r gives `2.6.18-238.12.1.el5xen`

ls /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.12.1.el5xen/kernel/arch/x86_64/kernel/cpufreq/
gives

acpi-cpufreq.ko mperf.ko powernow-k8.ko speedstep-centrino.ko

Do I have everything required to install cpufreq ?
Is my system compatible to have cpufreq ?
If yes, what steps sshould I follow to install cpufreq ?

When I entered BIOS settings, I was not able to view option to change CPU performance settings either.

Kindly tell me what to do.

Does your processor support this? Perhaps you need a new BIOS version? What does dmesg say?

I think the processor supports it (Pentium D).
I'm sorry but I don't know how to read the dmesg output. Smilie
All i could do was this :
dmesg|grep acpi
Code:
Bootdata ok (command line is ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 acpi=off)
Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 acpi=off

Also got this . If that helps

[root@kyi ~]# dmesg|grep ACPI
Code:

Try this on the shell. Paste output from below:

sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq;dmesg

I cannot post url's, I have an excellent URL from ubuntu forums. Maybe search there directly.

Hi vishwamitra, well there is your answer. Your kernel command line says acpi=off, so then you cannot use acpi-cpufreq as long as you use acpi=off .
