When I start the machine, I get to see the message that there was an

It says that there is no acpi-cpufreq.ko, and I looked for it and it is there
[olivares@localhost cpufreq]$ cd ~
[olivares@localhost ~]$ cd

Is this a bug?
It's not saying the file is missing, it's claiming the hardware
can't support frequency scaling. modprobe is being extremely
noisy for reasons I haven't figured out.
On a system which can't do scaling, the modprobe gets an -ENODEV,
and instead of silently exiting, it decides to flap its arms a bit.
I had silenced this at one point in the kernel by making it not 'fail'
when the hardware wasn't present. Unfortunatly this broke suspend/resume
for a considerable number of people.
