cpu_freq scalling extraordinary problem !!

[smookey]

Ok, i own lg lm50 laptop, processor is pentium m - 1.6.

For a past 6-7 months i was warking on gentoo 2005.0 with 2.6.11 kernel, and cpu freq scalling was working exellent.
And about 5 days ago i have emerged a new kernel ( 2.6.16.16 to be precise).
And suddenly cpu freq scalling crashes.

The problem is that:

When i try modprobe acpi-cpufreq.ko it says

lm50 arek # modprobe acpi-cpufreq
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r7/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device

And this:
lm50 arek # /etc/init.d/cpufreqd start
* cpufreqd requires the kernel to be configured with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ

I have CONFIG_CPU_FREQ in kernel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what is wrong ? I have spend 5 days trying to solve this mystery and i have fail.
I think this new kernel is worth as shi* .

Anyone have any suggestions ?

Yeah, And also this:

lm50 arek # cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 001: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006
Report errors and bugs to linux@brodo.de, please.

[Avantgarden]

I have the same problem with amd athlon xp-m.

[beatryder]

I have had the same problem.

my solution was to just compile it into the kernel
