Description of problem: the module acpi-cpufreq.ko is not present and to the cpuspeed it is need . I was wayting for new kernel and now with the 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 kernel it is the same. For Notbook it is a big problem because it make it very hot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 How reproducible: evry time Steps to Reproduce: #/etc/init.d/cpuspeed FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Was Find in FC5
It was a bad version of the kernel. Change the version of the kernel (i586 to i686) kernel and it work find. i have done : yum install yum-utils yumdownloader kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.i686 rpm -Uvh --replacefiles --replacepkgs kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.i686.rpm *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 211941 ***
I do not think this is related to the kernel version problem with anaconda. I have fixed my kernel from i586 to i686 and still am seeing this problem.

Please try updating cpuspeed to the version in updates-testing, this should stop acpi-cpufreq from trying to load on systems where it isn't properly supported.
Indeed it does. Are athlon processors no longer supported for cpu frequency scalnig?
Athlon procs aren't supported by acpi-cpufreq, but they are supported by powernow-k7. Edit /etc/cpuspeed.conf and set DRIVER accordingly (I believe all you should have to do is uncomment a line already in there), then restart cpuspeed and I think you should be good to go. (most?) k7 systems don't properly populate sysfs with cpufreq info via /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_driver). I suppose we could fall back to looking elsewhere (like /proc/cpuinfo) and try loading powernow-k7, but I dunno if there are potential pitfalls w/doing something like that...
Eep. I don't know what I'm thinking... Don't set DRIVER, because powernow-k7 is built into the kernel, its not a module... Okay, so I'm not sure what the correct solution is at the moment. I'll get back to ya on this one, poking at an athlon box now...
Unless it's a "mobile athlon", it doesn't support speed scaling. The powernow-k7 driver also requires that the BIOS set up the relevant tables in the BIOS. Without these, it won't be able to do anything.
Whoops, forgot to update this bug. The Athlon powernow-k7 issue was further addressed in bug 218542.
