[AMD64 POWER] powernow-k8 and acpi-cpufreq



Hi, people !

With default debian linux-image and initrd, even kernel is named
bla-bla-k8, powernow-k8 subsystem isn't compiled, but is as module,
thus there's no /sys/power interface for powersaving. If i'm trying to
load modules by hand i 'm getting this:

deen:/home/olecom#
deen:/home/olecom# modprobe acpi-cpufreq
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq
(/lib/modules/2.6.16-2-amd64-k8/kernel/arch/x86_64/kernel/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko):
No such device
deen:/home/olecom#
deen:/home/olecom# modprobe powernow-k8
deen:/home/olecom# modprobe acpi-cpufreq
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq
(/lib/modules/2.6.16-2-amd64-k8/kernel/arch/x86_64/kernel/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko):
Device or resource busy
deen:/home/olecom#

But it certainly works, if compiled in. I have no clue what to do.
Maybe this is bug in linux ?
